Comments (Meaning / History Only)
Dick is not a diminutive: it is a short form of Diederik (and more of a contracted form for the spelling Diederick). If it were a diminutive, it would have the suffix -ie or -y, or -je (although the latter is least often seen with this name). Dutch diminutives are very specific in that regard. [noted -ed]
