Happy Name Day, Richard!

Today we honor Richard.  Všechno nejlepší k svátku! (All the best for your name day!)
Richard is of Old German origin, meaning "powerful leader".

Richard has always been a very popular name throughout the English-speaking world. It was first imported to England by the Normans, though it is derived from the Germanic elements "ric" (power) and "hard" (strong, hardy). The original form was probably pronounced with a hard C (RICK hart).
