Origin
Meaning and history of Richarlison
The name Richarlison is a modern compound name that combines the traditional given names Richard and Charles. It is likely of English origin, derived from the Germanic elements "ric" meaning power or rule, and "hard" meaning brave or hardy.
The name Richard has been in use since the 8th century, with one of the earliest recorded examples being the Frankish ruler Richard the Justiciar, who lived from around 835 to 921 AD. The name Charles originated from the Germanic "Karl", meaning man or husband, and gained popularity due to the fame of Charlemagne, the King of the Franks from 742 to 814 AD.
While the specific combination of Richarlison is relatively modern, the individual names Richard and Charles have a long and illustrious history. Notable figures throughout history who bore these names include:
1. Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart (1157-1199), King of England from 1189 to 1199.
2. Richard III (1452-1485), King of England from 1483 to 1485.
3. Charles V (1500-1558), Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, who ruled a vast empire spanning Europe and the Americas.
4. Charles II (1630-1685), King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1660 to 1685.
5. Charles Darwin (1809-1882), the renowned English naturalist and author of "On the Origin of Species".
The combination of the names Richard and Charles into the modern form of Richarlison is likely a reflection of the enduring popularity and cultural significance of these traditional names throughout history, as well as a desire to create a unique and memorable name by combining two familiar elements.

FAQ
Richarlison: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Richarlison?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Richarlison going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Richarlison a common name?
We classify Richarlison as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Richarlison most popular?
The single biggest year for Richarlison was 2023, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Richarlison is about 3 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Richarlison in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Richarlison a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Richarlison in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Richarlison still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Richarlison in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Richarlison can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
