What is the meaning of the name Rickson ?

The baby name Rickson is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RICK-sən (IPA: /ˈrɪk.sən/).

Rickson is English in Origin.

Rickson is an English patronymic given name and surname meaning "son of Rick," with Rick a short form of Richard. Richard ultimately derives from Old High German elements ric ‘ruler, power’ and hard ‘brave, hardy’, so the name can be read as “son of the powerful/brave ruler.” The -son ending reflects Old English and Norse naming patterns.

As a family name, Rickson appears in British records from the early modern period, with related spellings Rixon and Rixson formed from the medieval pet-name Rix/Rick. In the late 20th and 21st centuries it has been adopted as a modern first name in English-speaking countries, part of the surname-as-given-name trend; its visibility has been helped by Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Rickson Gracie. Variant spellings and cognates include Ricksen, Rixon, and Rixson; related patronymics are Richardson and the Scandinavian Rickardsson.
