The name Richard derives from German, French, and English “ric” (ruler, leader, king) and “hard” (strong, brave, court), therefore it means “powerful leader” as well as “King’s Court”.
Richard is a typical name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Swedish and Dutch.

Perhaps his name can just be his face! Words will never come close to describing this man. ♥
I like it! He could be “The face” like Prince became “The symbol” a while back! 😉
