Ritchie is in Origin.
Ritchie is a diminutive and transferred surname from Richard, a name of Old High German origin (ric "rule, power" + hard "brave, strong"), yielding the sense "powerful/brave ruler." It entered English via the Normans in the 11th century, then produced numerous pet forms; in Scotland, Ritchie established early as both a given name and a patronymic surname ("son of Richard").
As an independent first name, Ritchie appears in British and American records from the 19th century and rose in mid-20th-century popularity, helped by musicians like Ritchie Valens and later pop-culture uses. Variant spellings include Richie, Richey, Ritchey, and Richy; related nicknames are Rich, Rick, Ricky, and, historically, Dick. International cognates of the root include Richard (English/French), Ricardo (Spanish/Portuguese), Riccardo (Italian), and Ryszard (Polish). The name retains an affable, informal tone while carrying the time-honored meaning of steadfast leadership.
