Bolick
A surname most likely from a Germanic place-name or nickname base, later Anglicized in English-speaking countries.
The #8,977 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 84,704 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Bolick is not a standard major surname form with a single universally agreed derivation, so its origin is best treated cautiously. It may be an Anglicized spelling of a German surname built on a place-name or a short Germanic nickname base, with the final -ick/-ik reflecting regional spelling habits rather than a separate meaning. In English records, such names were often reshaped to fit local pronunciation and spelling.
History
The surname is found in the United States, especially among families of German-speaking or Central European background, where spelling variation was common after immigration. Because Bolick is relatively uncommon and not strongly standardized, different family lines may not share exactly the same origin. The modern U.S. distribution suggests a long-established but localized family name rather than a widely spread surname.

Fun fact
Uncommon surnames like Bolick often preserve older spellings that were never fully standardized, so one family line may keep a form that another branch later simplified or changed.
