Breck is of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic word 'Breac', which means 'speckled' or 'freckled'. It was originally a nickname for someone with speckled or reddish hair, or perhaps freckles on their face. The name gained popularity in Scotland during the Middle Ages and has since been adopted by other English-speaking countries.
The name Breck experienced varying popularity over time, with peaks in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, and recent declines since 2016.
