Meaning and origin of Mavrick
Mavrick is an American (modern coinage) and English name that is usually said to mean “variant of Maverick, independent one”.
Mavrick is a modern spelling of Maverick, an English word for an independent-minded person who does not follow the crowd. The word comes from Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher in the nineteenth century who refused to brand his cattle, so unbranded cattle came to be called mavericks. The name gained further popularity through the film Top Gun and its sequel. It is said MAV-rihk, with the middle vowel usually dropped in speech, which the spelling reflects. Mavrick has a cool, adventurous style. Mav is an obvious nickname.
