Rikard

Rikard is the Swedish and Norwegian form of Richard, a name of Old Germanic origin composed of the elements ric, meaning power or ruler, and hard, meaning brave or strong. The name was brought to widespread use across Europe by the Normans following the eleventh-century conquest of England, and was borne by several medieval kings, most notably the English king Richard I. Related forms include Richard in English, Ricard in Catalan, Rijkaard in Dutch, and Rikhard in Finnish.
