Origin
Meaning and history of Mavrik
The name Mavrik is a modern invention, likely derived from the English word "maverick," which originally referred to an unbranded calf or ox. The word "maverick" itself comes from the surname of a 19th-century Texas rancher, Samuel A. Maverick, who did not brand his cattle.
While the name Mavrik does not have any ancient or historical roots, its connection to the concept of a "maverick" – someone who is independent, unconventional, or non-conformist – may have contributed to its popularity as a given name in recent decades. The spelling variation with a "k" instead of a "c" adds a unique and modern twist to the name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Mavrik being used as a first name is Mavrik Bourque, a Canadian professional ice hockey player born in 1993. However, due to the name's relatively recent origin, there are not many notable historical figures bearing this name.

FAQ
Mavrik: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Mavrik?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 671 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Mavrik going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 510,811 US residents.
Is Mavrik a common name?
We classify Mavrik as "Very Rare". It ranks above 87.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 676 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Mavrik most popular?
The single biggest year for Mavrik was 2022, when 76 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Mavrik is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Mavrik in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Mavrik a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Mavrik in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Mavrik still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Mavrik in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Mavrik can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
