Radpath is a rare modern given name taken from a Scottish Borders surname and place-name. It relates to the hamlet of Redpath in Berwickshire and stems from Old English rēad “red” + pæþ “path,” likely referencing iron-rich soil or a reddish trackway; hence the meaning “red path.” Typically pronounced RAD-path, it works as a gender-neutral choice, with the informal nickname Rad.

As a family name, it appears in medieval records of the Borders and later throughout Scotland and northern England. Spelling drift over centuries produced forms such as Redpath, Ridpath, Readpath, and Reidpath, with Radpath attested as a rarer variant. In given-name use, Radpath has emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the UK, Canada, and the United States, reflecting the wider surname-as-first-name trend and a symbolic nod to journeys and direction.
