History & Origin

Mavrick carries the meaning 'independent', the same sense as the more familiar Maverick from which it is respelled. Dropping the first 'e' gives a tighter, more streamlined look while keeping the word's idea of someone who goes their own way. The racer Maverick Viñales (born 1995) carries the standard spelling.

The word maverick originally meant an unbranded stray animal, which is where its 'independent' sense comes from — and Mavrick keeps that free-roaming spirit.

Did you know? Mavrick is a spelling variant of Maverick, so it keeps the same core meaning of 'independent' while changing the visual style.
