Derived from the Middle English 'Yichard', itself originating from the Germanic 'Ric(h)ardus', meaning 'bold power, rich strong'. The name Ichard has been used in various forms throughout history, including Richard and Ricardo, among others. It was particularly popular during the medieval period, with notable bearers including King Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart.
"Interestingly, the name Ichard was more popular in two distinct periods: first, five children were named Ichard in 1957, and then another group of five babies were given this name in 1983."
