This combination suggests the name may have initially been a descriptive nickname for someone with a peculiar taste or appetite.

One of the earliest known references to the Manlick name can be found in the Nuremberg Chronicle, a 15th-century German illustrated world history book, where a Manlick family is mentioned as residents of a small town near Regensburg, Bavaria. It is believed this family may have played a role in the local food or beverage trade, which could explain the connection to the name's meaning.
