Persian: رضا,
romanized: Rezâ) is the
Persian variant of the
Arabic name
Rida, which literally means "the fact of being pleased or contented; contentment, approval".[1] It is one of the most widely used names in
Iran.
According to Annemarie Schimmel, "riḍā is closely related to
shukr"; "shukr" is an Arabic term denoting thankfulness and gratitude.[2] In
