I've recently started to really like Warrick as a first name (please stifle all comments about CSI...), but I can't seem to find information on its etymology. At first, I thought it might have come from Warwick, but all the research I was turning up was saying that it meant either "strong leader/ruler" or "fortress". Now, I know the -rick part is probably where the "ruler" meaning comes from, but I'd really love to know the actual meaning and etymology of the whole name. Google results aren't telling me a thing, so any knowledge you guys have about this name's history would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
