About Ricci
Ricci is a masculine name with Italian origins, primarily used as a diminutive form of Ricardo (Richard). Derived from Germanic elements meaning 'powerful' and 'ruler,' Ricci literally translates to 'little powerful ruler.' The name has been more commonly used as a surname, notably associated with Italian fashion designer Nina Ricci and several Italian sports figures. As a first name, Ricci has a sophisticated European flair with its double-c spelling, distinguishing it from the more common 'Ricky.' The name has maintained modest usage in Italy and Italian-American communities. Ricci offers the appealing combination of being recognized internationally while remaining distinctive. Its short, punchy sound makes it modern and memorable.
Ricci is also given to girls.
Pronounced REE-chee.
