"Rick" is one English equivalent of the Italian name Ricchio.

Specifically, the name functions as a proper noun. It is thought to derive from the nickname -- Ricca in the feminine and Riccus in the masculine -- to such Germanic language-originating names as Federico ("Frederick") and Ulderico ("Hulderich"). It particularly may be found as a surname around the Italian cities of Bologna, Florence and Modena.

The pronunciation will be "REEK-kyo" for the nickname and "FEY-dey-REE-ko" and "OOL-dey-REE-ko" for the given names in Italian.
