Rycco is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Rycco is a contemporary given name, most common in English-speaking settings, that likely blends or respells two older names: Rocco and Rico. If taken as a variant of Italian Rocco (from Old High German hrok), it carries the meaning rest or repose and nods to Saint Roch/San Rocco, the medieval patron invoked against plague. If read as a stylized form of Rico, a short form of Ricardo/Enrico built on the Germanic element ric meaning power or rule, it suggests powerful ruler.

Documented usage of Rycco is very recent, with sporadic appearances in 21st-century birth data and online profiles; it remains rare and feels modern, edgy, and international. Close variants and cognates include Ryco, Ryko, Riko, Ricco, Rico, and Rocco; related longer forms are Ricardo, Enrico, and Roch. The y and double-c spelling sharpens the k sound and lends distinctiveness while keeping clear links to Mediterranean and Romance naming traditions.
