Carrick

Meaning of Carrick

Carrick (pronounced KAIR-ik, /ˈkɑr.ɪk/) traces back to Scottish Gaelic carraig, meaning “rock” or “fortress,” and carries the imprint of an ancient southwestern kingdom perched like a citadel above storm-lashed seas. Its solid, grounded resonance has made it a quietly steadfast choice in the United States, where seven newborns bore the name in 2024—placing it at 917—reflecting a modest but enduring presence. Over the past decades Carrick has wandered through the 650–900 rank range, never quite surging into the mainstream yet never fading into obscurity, much as the Zagros Mountains hold their shape against the passage of seasons. Analytical observers might see in Carrick the balance of strength and subtlety, a name as reliable as carved stone and as distinctive as a hidden stronghold.
