Endrick
Masculine
Endrick is the name of a river in Scotland — the Endrick Water, which comes down out of the hills and empties into Loch Lomond. As an American given name it is genuinely new, still carried almost entirely by young children, and rising. In the mouth it is two clean beats, EN-drik, an easy neighbor to the long-familiar Hendrick and Kendrick.

Our story of Endrick
Picture the Endrick first as water — a Scottish river that gathers off the moor, runs past Fintry and Drymen, and slides into the north-eastern corner of Loch Lomond. That is where the written record puts the word, long before anyone thought to hang it on a child. The given name arrived much later and by a different road, and what carried it was almost certainly sound: it lands within a step of Hendrick and Kendrick, and it closes with the same -rick that has ended Cedric, Frederick and Roderick for centuries, so an American ear meets it already half-knowing it. A river name and a familiar ending, and a name that is only now being written on birth certificates in any number.
Meaningnot established
Not established
No meaning has been established for Endrick as a given name. What is documented is the place: the Endrick Water in Scotland, and Endrick as a Scottish place and surname element. Its own etymology has never been settled, and no dictionary of first names traces the modern baby name to a word in any language.
Pronouncing Endrick
EN-drik
Two syllables, stress on the first. The -dr- blends in the middle, exactly as in Andrew. The usual slip is hearing an H at the front and writing Hendrick.

The Caine test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Endrick's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Caine climbed just as high around 1973, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Caine's path sketches the road Endrick is walking now.

The trade-off
- Short, two syllables, and spelled the way it sounds — a reader who has never seen it can usually say it correctly on the first try.
- Sits beside names Americans already know, Hendrick and Kendrick, so it is recognizable as a name even where it is unfamiliar.
- Comes with a ready-made short form: Rick, and Ricky, both in use in English for generations.
- Rare enough that a child is unlikely to share it with a classmate.
- Attached to a real place — the Endrick Water, which flows into Loch Lomond in Scotland.
- Expect Hendrick and Kendrick, over and over. The missing H and the swapped first syllable are the two mistakes people will make, and it means spelling it aloud fairly often — small friction, but lifelong.
- Because the name is so new here, nearly everyone who has it is a young child. There is no adult Endrick down the street to make it feel ordinary yet, so it will read as an invention to some people even though the word is old.
- For anyone who follows soccer, the name currently points to one young Brazilian forward, Endrick Felipe. That association is strong right now and may fade or grow; it is worth knowing which conversation you are walking into.
