The name Richmal is a girl's name of English origin meaning "dominant ruler + beloved, bitter, drop of the sea".

An extremely rare name, used predominantly in the town of Bury in North Western England, Richmal is most notably borne by writer Richmal Crompton, known for her <em>Just William</em> novels. 
<br></br>
The exact origins of the name are unknown but one theory is that it's a blend of Richard and Mary (via the Medieval diminutive Malle), giving it meanings such as "dominant and beloved ruler". Alternatively, it could be a mix of Richard and Amalia ("vigorous ruler") or Richard and Michael ("dominant ruler who is like God").
