Rajas is Sanskrit in Origin.
Rajas is a Sanskrit-derived masculine given name from रजस् (rajas), a Vedic term meaning “dust,” and by extension the guna of passion, drive, and activity in Indian philosophy. The concept appears in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, where rajas is the energetic quality that propels creation and desire. As a personal name in India and the diaspora, Rajas conveys vigor, ambition, and restlessness turned to purposeful action.
Usage has grown in modern decades alongside interest in yoga and classical Sanskrit vocabulary. Variants and related names include Raajas (spelling variant), Raj, Raja, Rajesh, and Rajasvi; nicknames often shorten to Raj or Raju. In Devanagari it is written रजस/रजस्, and it should not be confused with the English plural of “Raja.” Regional forms may appear in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati, with comparable meanings of dynamism, brilliance, and spirited energy.
