Rida (name)

Rida (, also transcribed as Ridha, Reda, Redha or Roda) is an Arabic name which literally means "the fact of being pleased or contented; contentment, approval". In the Arab world, the name is neutral and not one used only by a particular sect, and is used widely by Arab Christians and Arab Druze. According to Annemarie Schimmel, "riḍā is closely related to shukr"; "shukr" is an Arabic term denoting thankfulness and gratitude.

The Iranian Persian version of this name is ''Reza'', the Turkish one is ''Rıza'', the Azerbaijani one is ''Rza'' and the Urdu one is ''Raza''. Provided by Wikipedia
