Across the world, Richter (Richter , Рихтер , Ричтер , and others...) is quite a rare primarily masculine, but scarcely female first name. The forename Richter is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare male name, Slovakia, and Germany, where it is a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Germany, and Philippines. Much more prevalently, Richter is the last name as well as the forename.
Richter is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Richter Belmont , the fictional character from Castlevania, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; Richter , the operatic character in the opera Franz Jägerstätter; Richter , the operatic character in the opera Schwanda, der Dudelsackpfeifer, Schwanda the Bagpiper; Richter , the operatic character in the opera Die Harmonie der Welt by Paul Hindemith and Richter , the operatic character in the opera Der Revisor (Egk), among other works.
