A name that means "prosperity, success".

Radha is one of the most cherished names in Hindu tradition, borne by the cowherd girl whose love for Krishna is the supreme symbol of devotion and divine longing. The name is often given the sense of prosperity and success.

Radha's love is celebrated in poetry, song and painting across India as the very model of the soul's yearning for the divine — tender, total and joyful.

Beloved of Krishna — devotion itself.

Where Radha stands.

Radha does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
