Averick Origin and Meaning

The name Averick is a girl's name meaning "dappled, speckled; elf ruler".

Sharing the sounds of Maverick, Averill, Avery, and Alaric, Averick is a rugged and unexpected name of Manx origin. It's a variant of the Irish names Aifric and Aithbhreac , both of which can come from the element breac meaning "speckled".

When used as a surname, however, Averick could also be an anglicized form of the Germanic Alberich meaning "elf ruler".

Boyish yet with feminine roots, Averick could be an interesting way to get to nicknames Ava and Avi.
