Meaning & origin
Delrico is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1969. Its meaning is uncertain, but the name appears to be a combination of the fashionable prefix Del- and the Spanish name Rico, itself a short form of Ricardo or a word meaning 'rich.' The name rose to its peak popularity in 1979, when it was given to an estimated 1 in every several hundred thousand newborn boys. Since then, it has remained stable but extremely rare, never entering the top 1000. Delrico has no strong regional concentration in the United States, and its usage has been scattered across the country. The name feels like a product of the late 20th-century trend of blending sounds from different cultures into novel given names.
Delrico first appeared in U.S. records in the late 1960s. It is likely a modern invented name, formed from the fashionable prefix Del (as in Delmar or Delbert) combined with Rico, a Spanish nickname for Ricardo or a word meaning 'rich' or 'powerful.' The name has shown stable, extremely rare usage since its peak in 1979.
