Rickie

Rickie is an English diminutive of Richard, a name of Old High German origin composed of the elements ric, meaning power or ruler, and hard, meaning brave or strong, giving an overall sense of powerful ruler. The name Richard was brought to England by the Normans and became widely popular throughout the medieval period, borne by three kings of England. Rickie functions as an informal pet form alongside Ricky, Rick, and Richie, and the feminine spelling Ricki is also in use.
