What Does the Name Mavrick Mean?
Mavrick is a spelling variant of the American given name Maverick, which comes from an English surname rather than from a word in an older language. The surname gave rise to the common noun maverick, meaning an unbranded calf or steer and, in extended use, a person who acts independently or refuses to conform to a group. The given name is generally understood to carry that second, extended sense.
The surname Maverick is English; a Samuel Maverick was an early settler of Boston in the 1630s. The surname's deeper origin is not firmly established, so older meanings sometimes suggested for it remain uncertain.
Mavrick Name History & Origins
The word maverick is tied to Samuel Augustus Maverick (1803 - 1870), a lawyer, landowner, and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. According to the traditional account, Maverick took cattle as payment for legal work and left the animals, and their calves, unbranded. Neighboring ranchers began calling any unbranded animal a "maverick," and the word spread into general use for an independent-minded person. The details of the story are repeated in many tellings and are debated by historians.
Maverick is one of several English surnames that became given names in the United States. As a first name it is chiefly a 20th-century American development, drawn from the noun rather than carried over from an older naming tradition. The spelling Mavrick is a modern respelling; the standard form of both the name and the word is Maverick.
The word has long been used in American politics for a lawmaker who breaks with party lines. In popular culture, Maverick was the title of a television Western (1957 - 1962), and "Maverick" is the call sign of a pilot in the film Top Gun (1986). These are uses of the word's established meaning rather than the source of it.
