About Chadwick
Chadwick Boseman, the late charismatic star of Marvel's blockbuster Black Panther, brought this name to the spotlight for the first time.

Pronounced CHAD-wik.
As of October 2026, Chadwick ranked #4153 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #272 in 1975.
Editor's take: The name Chadwick is a boy's name of English origin meaning "dairy farm".
