d(a)-rri-ck
US Popularity:12036
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):German
Meaning:Ruler of the people
While the masculine names Darrick and Derrick sound slightly different, they are similar in nearly every other way. Both monikers are English variants of Derek, spelled with a double -r. Like Derek, Darrick and Derrick stem from Theodoric, a Gothic title meaning "ruler of the people." Setting itself apart with its first three letters, Darrick could simply be a creative blend of Dar and Rick. Every time your Darrick holds out a hand for a friend or makes someone feel heard, they'll demonstrate that true leadership comes from helping others.
