Maveric

Meaning of Maveric

The name Maveric is a distinctive and modern choice for boys, derived from the English word "maverick," which originally referred to an unbranded range animal but has come to symbolize an independent-minded person who does not conform to the norms. Pronounced as MAV-er-ik (/ˈmævərɪk/), this name evokes a sense of individuality and nonconformity. While its more common variation, Maverick, has gained significant popularity, Maveric itself remains relatively unique. In recent years, it has seen a steady rise in usage in the United States, reflecting parents' growing appreciation for names that convey strength and independence. Notably, its occurrence peaked in 2020 with 51 newborns being named Maveric, ranking 2501st in popularity. The name's association with trailblazers and free spirits makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a bold and unconventional name for their child.
