A Garleek ??
I should think so.
Note that the "lick" bit of garlic is the same as "leek"
anyway, coming from "leac", old english, old norse etc.
Cognate with "der Lauch" - a leek in modern german.
They also have Knoblauch - garlic (Knob-leek?) and
Schnittlauch - chives (trimmable leeks) and probably others too.
