Scottish: perhaps a habitational name from Rerrick (Kirkcudbrightshire), itself from Old Norse hreyrr ‘boundary, cairn’ + eik ‘oak’ or perhaps, with modification by Gaelic-speakers, vík ‘bay’.
English (Surrey and Middlesex): habitational name from Redwick in Gloucestershire from Old English hrēod ‘reed’ + wīc ‘outlying settlement’.
North German: variant of Reddich, an occupational name for a greengrocer or vegetable dealer, from Middle Low German redik ‘radish’. The surname Reddick is very rare in Germany; in North America it may also be an altered form of any of its variants and other similar (like-sounding) surnames (compare Redick ).
