Historically, those who bore the name were often associated with nobility or landownership, reflecting the characteristics of strength and leadership inherent in the name's meaning. Variations of the surname can be found in different cultures and languages, including "Richardson" (common in Scotland and Northern England), "Ricardo" in Spanish-speaking countries, and "Rikards" in some Eastern European regions.
