Kerick is in Origin.

Kerick (pronounced KEH-rik) is a modern English given name with several plausible roots. Most commonly it is viewed as a streamlined variant of Kerrick/Kerrik, a surname tied to the Irish and Scottish place-name Carrick (from Gaelic carraig, "rock"). Some parents also see it as a K-prefixed spin on Eric (Old Norse Eirikr, "ever-ruler"), while Slavic Kirik, ultimately from Greek Kyriakos, "belonging to the Lord", offers another etymological echo. Because of these converging influences, Kerick reads both rugged and polished.

Use as a first name is very rare before the late 20th century and remains uncommon across the English-speaking world. Variants include Kerrick, Kerik, Kerrik, and Carrick. Possible nicknames are Ker, Kirk, and Rick. Depending on the lineage you favor, Kerick can be interpreted as "rock/steadfast," "ever-ruler," or "of the Lord."
