What does the name Maveric mean?
Maveric is a spelling of Maverick, pronounced the same way, so it shares Maverick's meaning and origin.
Maverick is an English surname known in Devon since the 1500s; its own origin is unknown, and a link to Maurice is unproven. The word 'maverick', meaning an independent-minded person, comes from Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher who did not brand his cattle. Modern parents usually pick it for that sense.
How sure is this? Not documented. The surname's origin is unknown (Wiktionary, citing a study of the Devon Mavericks).
