Alick Origin and Meaning

The name Alick is a boy's name of Scottish origin.

Alick is a masculine name primarily found in Scottish usage as a variant of Alex or Alexander, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'defender of mankind.' The form Alick developed as a diminutive that became established as an independent given name in its own right, particularly in Scotland and parts of England. While less common than Alexander or Alex, Alick has historical precedent dating back several centuries. The name carries a traditional, somewhat rustic charm and maintains connections to Scottish heritage. Though its usage has declined in recent decades, it occasionally appears as a family name passed through generations or chosen by parents seeking a slightly distinctive alternative to the more common Alexander variants.
