The earliest known recording of the surname Herrick can be traced back to the 13th century, where it appeared in various English records. Over time, the name Herrick spread to different parts of the British Isles, including Ireland.
In Ireland, the Herrick surname is primarily associated with County Mayo. Many Herrick families can be found in this region, with some records dating back to the 18th century. It is believed that these Herrick families in Mayo were of English origin, possibly having arrived during the Plantation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries.
As with many surnames, the spelling of Herrick has varied over the years, with different branches of the family adopting slightly different variations. Some common variants include Herick, Harick, and Haric.
Today, individuals with the surname Herrick can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, where many Irish immigrants settled.
