Rickmansworth was recorded as Prichemareworde in the Domesday Book and the name is derived from a personal name Ricmaer and Old English worp, 'enclosure' - and means 'Ricmaer's farm with the enclosure'. It seems that Ricmaer is a continental name and this person had recently come from Europe and settled here. There have been many changes of spelling including Rikmersworth in 1430, until the present spelling was adopted.
The station opened as RICKMANSWORTH on 1 September 1887.
