I'm a Dublin Rickard and I'm interested in where the family actually originates from.
I've always been told by my family that it is a Viking name. In Dublin the Rickard family all seem to have originated from the small fishing village of Howth and the family are supposed to have lived there ever since the Vikings settled in Ireland sometime in the 9th century.
