Richy is a masculine name of Old English origin, meaning "old" and "strong leader." It originated as a shortened version of the Old French and Germanic name Richard before branching out on its own. Richy has a number of alternate spellings, such as Ritchie and Richie, many of which are familiar to us from TV and music. Lionel Richie questioned if it was him we were looking for, while Richie Cunningham desperately tried to keep Arthur Fonzarelli out of trouble in Happy Days. With wisdom beyond their years and the bravery and strength of a leader, your little one will be rich in more than just name.
