Independent; nonconformist
Derived from the English word for an unbranded calf, the name became associated with independence after Samuel Maverick, a Texas rancher who refused to brand his cattle. It has evolved into a symbol of individuality and breaking from tradition. Its popularity surged in the late 20th century due to pop culture influences.
