Rich

Rich is a boy's name of English and German origins. A shortened form of Richard, Rich derives from the Old German elements rih, meaning "ruler," and hart, meaning "brave" or "powerful." These elements give Rich definitions like "brave ruler," "powerful ruler," or simply "ruler," so it's a fitting choice for a tiny tot who'll be the captain of their own ship. Whether they're in pursuit of a goal or organizing a nap protest, little Rich will demonstrate impressive determination! Giving baby this moniker could also be a lovely way to carry on Richard as a family name. Perhaps your story is similar to that of The Bump user Charlyne, who says, "Richard is a big name in my family, my dad is Rich, grandpa was Rick, and my cousin is Richy." As your Rich grows, the people they share their name with will set them a mighty example to follow.
