Ritch Origin and Meaning

The name Ritch is a boy's name.

Ritch is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Rich, which itself is typically a shortened form of Richard. Richard derives from Germanic elements meaning 'powerful' or 'strong' and 'ruler.' This simplified spelling gives the name a more direct connection to its meaning of wealth or abundance. Ritch has never been widely popular as a standalone given name, as it's more commonly used as a nickname or surname. The spelling with a 't' adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the name's strong, concise sound. The name carries connotations of prosperity and success, making it appealing to parents who appreciate straightforward, masculine-sounding names with positive associations.
