Best Answer

Heartily wielding the powerful family motto of "Keep the Faith!", the proud and noble English surname of Rich was washed upon Britain's glittering shores amidst the veritable tidal wave of Immigration following the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. The surname is a reference to "Riche", in Lorraine, France, the family's home before the invasion. After the invasion, they settled in Hampshire.
