1830 · The Second Great Awakening

Many people began to rapidly join the Baptist and Methodist congregations. Many converts to these religions believed that the Awakening was the precursor of a new millennial age.

Name Meaning

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 ).
