Richards is primarily recognized as an English surname derived from the Germanic personal name Richard, combining elements meaning "powerful" and "brave ruler." As a first name, Richards is uncommon, representing either a patronymic usage or a modern variation of the classic Richard. The name Richard itself has been popular throughout European history, borne by English kings, artists, and leaders. The addition of the final 's' may reflect a family naming tradition or desire to distinguish the name from the more common Richard. While rare as a first name, Richards maintains the strong, authoritative qualities of its root name. Its unusual status as a first name might appeal to parents seeking a traditional-sounding masculine name with a subtle difference from more common classics.
