History & Origin
Rickia is a coined American girls' name from the late 1970s, made by feminising Rick or Rickey with -ia. It belongs to a broader habit of the era, turning familiar men's short names into fresh girls' names by adding a vowel ending.
It never became common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-1990s high. A girl named Rickia then is in her twenties or thirties now.
