The meaning of Charlick
English: nickname from Middle English charlok ‘wild mustard’ (Sinapis arvensis), Old English cerlic, cyrlic. As a surname this may have denoted someone who favoured yellow clothes. The suggestion that the name denoted a seller or grower of this plant seems less likely, since, although the leaves are edible, the seeds are poisonous.
