Detrick is a distinctive given name of German origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'theod' meaning people and 'ric' signifying power or mighty. The name gained prominence during medieval times but remains relatively uncommon today, adding to its unique charm. Pronounced de-TRIK, it offers a modern twist on classic European names.
The name Detrick experienced a significant peak in popularity during the late 1960s to early 1970s, with a noticeable decline thereafter. The highest number of births occurred in 1972 with 47 newborn girls named Detrick. However, since 2011, the name has been quite rare, with fewer than 15 births each year.
