The first or given name
Richard comes from the Germanic elements 'ric' (meaning power, rule, leader) and 'hard' (meaning brave, hardy, strong). It can thus be interpreted to mean strong ruler, brave leader, firm rule or any of many similar variations. It was brought to Britain by the Normans. It has enjoyed continuous popularity to the present day, strongly influenced by the fact that it was borne by three kings of England.
