Jewish (American): Americanized form of Gorelik.English (chiefly Lancashire): from Middle English garlek
‘garlic’, hence a metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller
of garlic or perhaps a nickname for someone who ate a lot of
garlic. An alternative derivation of the English name is from an
unrecorded survival into Middle English of the Old English personal
name Garlac, which is composed of the elements
gar ‘spear’ + lac ‘sport’, ‘play’.German: altered form of Garlich (see Gerlich).
