Reddick

Meaning of Reddick

Pronounced RED-ik (/ˈrɛ.dɪk/), Reddick traces back to the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, originating as a locational surname derived from the Old English read (“red”) and dic (“ditch” or “dyke”), denoting a settlement by a ruddy earthwork. As a given name in the United States it has remained rare since first appearing in the late 1940s—recorded five times in both 1948 and 1949 at ranks 597 and 586 respectively—before dipping from view for several decades only to reemerge in the early 2010s. From 2013 to 2021 its ranking has fluctuated modestly between 880 and 928, with annual occurrences between five and ten, indicating that Reddick retains a discrete but persistent presence among parents favoring a distinctive Anglo-American choice.
