maverick

Etymology
From the surname of Texas lawyer and politician (1803–1870), who refused to brand his cattle. For probable origin and meaning, see.

Samuel Maverick was the grandfather of former congressman, who coined the term.

The poker noun sense (“a queen and a jack as a starting hand in Texas hold 'em”) may be from the theme song of the US Western television series Maverick (1957–1962), which says of the eponymous protagonist that “[g]amblin’ is his game” and that he is “livin’ on jacks and queens”.
