Karrick is a modern given-name adaptation of the Scottish and Irish surname Carrick, ultimately from Gaelic carraig, meaning “rock” or “crag.” The K- initial is a contemporary respelling - common in North America - that preserves the crisp, two-syllable sound while distinguishing it from the traditional C- form.

As a given name, Karrick is rare and largely a late 20th- and 21st-century choice, primarily masculine. Variants and cognates include Carrick, Kerrick, Karick, and Karik; related sound-alikes are Garrick and Merrick. Possible nicknames are Rick or Rik. The meaning “rock” conveys steadiness, resilience, and strength.
