MEANING & HISTORY
What does Ricoy mean?
Ricoy is documented from Rico with a familiar ending in Cebuano. The source establishes the immediate parent, while Rico itself can stand for different longer names.
Selecting a root from Richard or another guessed expansion would therefore go beyond this exact account. Rikoy is a separately recorded spelling with the same stated base, useful for comparison without changing a person's chosen c spelling.
