Merryck is in Origin.

Merryck is a modern respelling of Merrick, a name rooted in Wales and England. In Welsh it corresponds to Meurig (earlier Meuric), the native form of Latin Mauricius/Mauritius, meaning "Moorish" or "dark-skinned." As an English and Welsh surname, Merrick also reflects Germanic name elements maer "famous" and ric "power, ruler," yielding the sense "famous ruler" or "powerful."

Meurig appears in early medieval Wales, most notably Meurig ap Tewdrig, while Merrick emerges as a hereditary surname along the Welsh borders from the 13th century. The spelling Merryck is a contemporary twist that keeps the crisp k-ending while emphasizing the y. Usage as a given name revived in the 19th century and has grown quietly in the UK, US, and other Anglophone regions. Related forms and variants include Merrick, Merrik, Merric, Merick, Myrick (surname), and Welsh Meurig; short forms such as Merry and Rick are also used.
