Maverick comes from an unbranded calf, and so means an independent spirit; this name is a 1, the figure of leaders.
A Maverick gets from the 1 the courage to differ from the crowd, a strong independence and a habit of taking the first step.
Launching a project the same day the idea appears, without waiting for perfect conditions.
Announcing a decision to those close to you instead of submitting it to them.
Maverick began as the surname of Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher of the 19th century who is said to have left his calves unbranded.
The word maverick came to mean a stray calf, and then a person who thinks and acts independently, outside a group. It reached a wider audience as a first name through fiction and film, and its sense of an independent spirit is the reason most parents give for choosing it.
The word suits the number.
Start with M 4 and A 1, then V 4, E 5, R 9, I 9, C 3 and K 2: 37 in all; 3 plus 7 give 10, then 1. A Maverick is often the first to propose a different way, the one who questions a rule and who prefers to find his own solution. He needs room to decide.
His vowels A, E and I add up to 15, then 6. At heart he is caring, loyal to friends and family, a wish to protect and to keep a place where people feel welcome. M, V, R, C and K reach 22, a total kept whole, so his way of acting can be organised and large in scale.
The M is a 4, a steady first impression, and the first vowel, A, a 1, adds a direct reaction to the unexpected.
Independence, care and building power, behind a steady face: a remarkable mix. Rules matter to him less than results, and he is happiest where he can try an idea his own way and then explain how it went.
In 2025, Maverick ranked No. 385 among boys’ names in England and Wales.
