Darrick

Meaning of Darrick

Darrick is an Anglo-American masculine name derived from the Old German Theodoric, meaning “people’s ruler,” and functions as a phonetic variant of Derek. Pronounced DAIR-ik (/dɑɪˈrɪk/), it first gained modest traction in U.S. birth records during the late 1960s, climbing to its zenith at rank 380 in 1978. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, its position gradually slipped into the mid-500s and 600s, reflecting shifting naming fashions, before settling into a consistent, if niche, tier around the 900th rank over the past decade. This stability—16 occurrences in 2024 at rank 908—suggests that while Darrick has never penetrated the top 100, it endures as a technically solid choice for parents valuing both heritage and individuality.
