Maverick Origin and Meaning

The name Maverick is a boy's name of American origin meaning "independent, nonconformist".

It's ironic that the name Maverick is not such a maverick anymore. Heard first in a 1950s James Garner western TV series, and then as the Tom Cruise character in Top Gun, Maverick symbolizes an unfettered, free spirit.

In fact, Maverick is the name of the Baby Name DNA type that's the least conventional and the most adventurous. But the name Maverick is far too popular to appeal to someone whose Baby Name DNA type is Maverick.
