Meaning & History
Flick is an English feminine given name that primarily serves as a diminutive of Felicity, a virtue name meaning "happiness" that originated among Puritans in the 17th century. It can also be a shortened form of Felicia, the feminine form of the Latin name Felix, meaning "lucky" or "successful". In some cases, the name may directly derive from the English word flick, referring to a quick, light movement.
As a diminutive, Flick is part of a tradition of nicknames ending in "-ick" or "-ickie" in English, such as Mick for Michael or Vick for Victoria. Its use as an independent given name has been rare but persistent, most frequently in English-speaking countries.
