Radhakanta is Sanskrit in Origin.
Radhakanta derives from Sanskrit Rādhā (the cowherdess and beloved of Krishna) + kānta (“beloved, handsome”), yielding “Beloved of Radha” or “Radha’s Lord,” an honorific of Krishna. As a theophoric masculine name, it invokes qualities of charm, devotion, and protective love associated with Krishna and the Radha–Krishna tradition in Vaishnavism.
Usage is attested across North and East India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with particular popularity in Bengali and Odia communities since the Bhakti era. The name appears in temple and monastic titles and was borne by figures such as Raja Radhakanta Deb (1784–1867), a noted Bengali scholar. Variants and spellings include Radhakant, Rādhākānta, Radhakantha, and Radha Kant/Radha-Kanta; short forms Kanta or Kant occur in Hindi-speaking contexts. Related surnames or devotional additions (e.g., Das) may follow in some traditions.
