意思是“勇敢的统治者”,源于日耳曼语中的“统治者,强大的”和“勇敢的,坚强的”。诺曼人把这个名字介绍给英国,从那时起,这个名字在英国非常普遍。它由英国三位国王所继承,其中包括12世纪第三次十字军东征的领袖之一狮心理查一世。在中世纪晚期,这个名字通常是男性最常见的五个名字之一(约翰、威廉、罗伯特和托马斯)。它一直相当流行到现代,在1940年代在美国达到顶峰,稍晚一点在美国Kingom达到顶峰,并从那时起逐渐衰落。著名的演奏者包括两位德国歌剧作曲家理查德·瓦格纳(1813-1883年)和理查德·施特劳斯(1864-1949年),以及英国探险家理查德·伯顿爵士(1821-1890年),美国物理学家理查德·费曼(1918-1988)、英国演员理查德·伯顿(1925-1984)和美国音乐家小理查德(1932-)。
