Kick

English word name, diminutive of Katherine, Greek

"pure"

Kick Origin and Meaning

The name Kick is a girl's name meaning "pure".

Kick is a word name that some parents might use for their baby in utero — akin to Bean or Booboo — but it's increasingly being heard as a word name especially used in the middle, a la Jeremy Sisto for son Bastien. The Kennedy family has historically called daughters Kathleen "Kick" for short, and Kick can work as a nickname for a whole range of names male and female, from Nicholas to Keturah.
