Rad

Rad is a spirited shortening of the Slavic Radomir, meaning 'joy and peace.' While its roots lie in ancient languages, 'Rad' itself gained traction in English-speaking countries as a punchy, standalone name. It arrived on the scene in 1948, a name ready for modern times.

You hear 'Rad' and immediately think of a son who brings immense joy into your life. It’s a name that suggests a cool confidence and an enthusiastic approach to everything he encounters, much like the vibrant spirit you already feel for him.
