History & Origin

Rickell is a modern coinage, read either as a feminine of Rick, from Richard (Germanic for 'brave ruler'), finished with a fashionable -ell, or as a reshaping of Rachelle. Names built to honor a relative while sounding fresh were common in the later twentieth century, and Rickell is a rare example.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1992, and stayed rare. A girl named Rickell then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Rickell can honor a Richard or Rick in the family while sounding like Rachelle, a double appeal that fits the personal, inventive naming of the nineteen-eighties and nineties.
