Richy is in Origin.
Richy is an English diminutive of Richard, from the Old High German elements ric "ruler, power" and hard "brave, hardy," yielding the meaning "powerful ruler" or "brave ruler." The name Richard entered England via the Normans and became entrenched through royal use, most famously King Richard I (the Lionheart), and through medieval popularity, which seeded a long tradition of affectionate short forms.
Richy functions primarily as a nickname but has seen independent use since the mid-20th century, particularly in the UK and United States; today it reads casual and friendly compared with formal Richard. Spelling variants include Richie (more common), Richey, and Richi; related pet forms are Rich, Rick, Ricky, and the rhyming medieval offshoot Dick/Dickie. International equivalents of the root name include Ricardo (Spanish/Portuguese), Riccardo (Italian), Richard (French, German, Czech), Ryszard (Polish), and Rikard or Rikhard (Scandinavian and Finno-Slavic).
