The name Richarda is of German origin, derived from the male name Richard, which itself comes from the Germanic elements 'ric' meaning 'power' or 'strong,' and 'hard' meaning 'brave' or 'hardy.' The female form Richarda was more common in Germany during the Middle Ages but has since fallen out of favor. It is not widely used today, making it quite unique. In English-speaking countries, it might be mistaken for a male name due to its similarity with Richard, but it's indeed a feminine given name.
The name Richarda has seen varying popularity over the decades, with a noticeable peak in births in 1993 at eight babies compared to other years where it ranged from five to seven births. The total number of children named Richarda born between 1950 and 1993 is thirty-one.
