Rikkie Origin and Meaning

Rikkie is a feminine name that functions as a diminutive form of names like Erica, Frederica, or Richarda. It also sometimes serves as a standalone given name. With Germanic origins, it relates to the element "ric" meaning "ruler" or "powerful." The spelling variation with "kk" and the "ie" ending gives it a playful, affectionate quality typical of nickname forms. While traditionally this spelling might be associated with female bearers, variants like Ricky or Rickie have been used across genders. Rikkie has a friendly, approachable quality with its short form and familiar sounds. The name has moderate usage in various European countries, particularly in the Netherlands, but remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking regions.
