Interesting Facts About Rich

Rich meaning what we would expect it to mean would have been of French origins, from the Old French word ‘riche’, from where we got our word rich. As a surname it would have originally been used as a nickname for a rich person, and would later have stuck as a surname as did many nicknames. Alternatively it would have been a patronymic surname, from the German mane Richard which in its shortened form is Rich. Patronymic surnames were given to the descendants of a person to pass down their first name.
