Origin
Meaning and history of Kevrick
The given name Kevrick is a rare and unique moniker that has its roots in ancient Celtic culture. Its origins can be traced back to the early medieval period, around the 5th to 6th centuries AD, when it was prevalent among the Celtic tribes inhabiting the British Isles and parts of modern-day France.
The name Kevrick is believed to be a combination of two Celtic words: "cev" meaning "valiant" or "brave," and "rick" derived from the word "rix," which signified a ruler or chief. Thus, the name Kevrick could be interpreted as "brave ruler" or "valiant chief," reflecting the warrior spirit and leadership qualities prized by the Celtic people.
While there are no definitive historical records of the name appearing in ancient texts or religious scriptures, it is believed that Kevrick was borne by several notable figures in Celtic history. One of the earliest recorded instances is Kevrick the Bold, a legendary chieftain of the Iceni tribe in present-day East Anglia, who is said to have led his people in a fierce resistance against Roman occupation in the 1st century AD.
Another prominent bearer of the name was Kevrick of Leinster, a Irish prince who lived in the 7th century AD. According to historical accounts, he played a pivotal role in the defense of his kingdom against the invading Norsemen, earning him the epithet "the Valiant."
In the 11th century, Kevrick the Fearless was a renowned Welsh warrior and military leader who fought alongside King Gruffudd ap Llywelyn in the struggle against Norman invaders. His bravery and strategic prowess were celebrated in various bardic poems and tales of that era.
During the late medieval period, Kevrick de Montfort, a French nobleman and knight, gained fame for his exploits in the Crusades. He participated in the Third Crusade under King Richard I of England and was known for his gallantry on the battlefield.
In more recent times, one notable bearer of the name was Kevrick O'Reilly, an Irish patriot and rebel who played a significant role in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. He was born in 1772 and fought against British rule, ultimately sacrificing his life for the cause of Irish independence.
While the name Kevrick may be relatively uncommon in modern times, its rich history and connotations of bravery, leadership, and valor have left an indelible mark on the cultures and societies that have embraced it throughout the centuries.

FAQ
Kevrick: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kevrick?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kevrick going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

We classify Kevrick as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kevrick most popular?
The single biggest year for Kevrick was 1990, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kevrick is about 35 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kevrick in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kevrick a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kevrick in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Kevrick still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kevrick in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kevrick can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
