What is the meaning of the name Mick ?

The baby name Mick is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /mɪk/.

Mick is English, Latin in Origin.

Mick is the familiar English and Irish short form of Michael, from Hebrew Mikha’el, a rhetorical question meaning "Who is like God?". The popularity of the Archangel Michael spread the name across medieval Europe; Mick surfaces in records as a colloquial byname from the 18th–19th centuries and was adopted as an independent given name in the mid-20th century, especially in Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Australia.

Variants and cognates include Michael (English), Mícheál (Irish), Michel (French), Michele (Italian), Miguel (Spanish/Portuguese), Mikhail (Russian), Mihai (Romanian), Mikael (Scandinavian), and Mikkel (Danish/Norwegian). Related diminutives are Mike, Mikey, Mickey/Micky, and Swedish Micke. Notable bearers such as Mick Jagger and Mick Fleetwood give the name a rock-and-roll, down-to-earth feel. Note that in some anglophone contexts "Mick" has also functioned as an ethnic slur for Irish people; the given-name use is distinct and affectionate.
