Boy name · 16 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ricco: 16 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2018.
Ricco is a name with Italian and Germanic roots, most commonly a short form of Riccardo, the Italian version of Richard, meaning "brave ruler" or "powerful leader." It also appears as a given name in its own right, carrying a lively, modern feel. Famous bearers include Ricco Rodriguez, the American mixed martial artist and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and Ricco Groß, the German biathlete and multiple Olympic medalist. The name shares its etymological root with the German name Heinrich, which gave rise to the English Henry, though no major places are directly named after a Ricco. A notable variant is Rico, which is more widespread across Spanish and Italian cultures, while Ricco itself remains a distinctive, punchy choice with a continental flair.
