Carrock is one of the proud Scottish names to come from the Strathclyde clans of the Scottish/English Borderlands. It is derived from the personal name Craig. Thus, Carrock is a patronymic name, taken from the given name of the father or some other ancestor of the bearer. However, Carrock may also be of local origin, referring to those who lived in or near the place called Carrick in Ayrshire.

Migration of the Carrock family

Unwelcome in their beloved homeland, many Scots sailed for the colonies of North America. There, they found land and freedom, and even the opportunity to make a new nation in the American War of Independence. These Scottish settlers played essential roles in the founding of the United States, and the shaping of contemporary North America. Among them: Richard Carrick, who arrived in Virginia in 1650; Roger Carrick, who came to Virginia in 1672; Christian Carrick, a bonded passenger, who came to America in 1758.
