Richard is from Old German Richart, where "Ric" means "King" or Ruler, and "hart" means "strong." A good corresponding name in Hebrew would be Malchiel (or more phonetically Malkiel). The name derives from the Hebrew word for "king," and the root meaning of "el" is "strength." Hence "El" is used in the Hebrew language to mean "God." Malkiel literally means "My King is God," or "My King is the Strong One." Since Richard means "strong king," Malkiel best corresponds, because it contains both "king" and "strong."
