History & Origin

Maverix is a modern X-ending respelling of Maverick, a word born on the Texas range: rancher Samuel Maverick left his cattle unbranded, and 'maverick' came to mean anything — and anyone — that refuses to be labeled. Maverick took off as a boys' name with help from film and television; Maverix is one of its newest spellings, a recent coinage which we note (said 'MAV-uh-riks').

It appears rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare spelling of a bold modern favorite.

Did you know? The word maverick comes from Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher who didn't brand his cattle — so an unbranded calf became a 'maverick', and then so did any independent spirit. Maverix spells that with an X (said 'MAV-uh-riks').
