From Proto-Germanic *rīkiją, itself either a substantivised *rīkijaz (“rich, mighty”) or a borrowing from Proto-Celtic *rīgiom (“kingdom”), from *rīxs (“king”) (compare Irish rí), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵs (“king”). Cognates include Old English rīċe (English rike, riche), Old Dutch rīki (Dutch rijk), Old Frisian rīke (West Frisian ryk), Old High German rīhhi (German Reich), Old Norse ríki (Danish rige, Swedish rike), Gothic 𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹 (reiki). The Indo-European root is also the source of Latin rex.
