Bhama Raju is Indian in Origin.

Bhama Raju blends Sanskrit and Dravidian naming traditions. Bhama (from Sanskrit bhā “to shine”) denotes brightness, charm, and is also an epithet of Satyabhama, the beloved consort of Krishna; it carries associations of beauty and spirited courage in Vaishnava lore. Raju ultimately derives from Sanskrit rāja “king,” used across Telugu and other South Indian languages as a given name and as a community surname, conveying nobility or leadership. Together the name suggests “royal radiance” or “one who shines with kingly grace.”

In usage, Bhama is commonly a feminine given name in Kerala and Karnataka, while in Andhra–Telangana the fused form Bhamaraju (Bhāmarāju) is typically masculine. As a two‑part name, Bhama Raju may indicate a personal name plus the Raju family/lineage. Documented from late medieval to modern times in Telugu regions, it appears today across the Indian diaspora. Variants and relatives include Bhaama, Bhamma, Bhamaraj, Raju/Rājū, Raja, Raj, Rajan, and Rajendra.
