History & Origin

Magik is a respelling of the word magic, which reached English from Greek magikḗ, 'the art of the magi' — the priestly caste of ancient Persia. As a given name it belongs to the modern taste for word names with reshaped endings, and it doubles as the code name of a Marvel comics character, which we note. Routes are uncertain (said 'MAJ-ik').

It is very rare in the U.S. Rare, playful, and bold.

Did you know? Magic once meant simply 'the art of the magi' — the Persian priest-astronomers who gave us the Wise Men of the Nativity. Magik respells it; it is also a Marvel code name, which we note.
