What is the meaning of the name Rajul ?

The baby name Rajul is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RAH-jool (IPA: /ˈrɑːdʒʊl/).

Rajul is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajul is an Indo‑Aryan given name linked to the Sanskrit raj/rajan “king, rule,” a root that also conveys a sense of radiance and distinction. Accordingly, the name is often interpreted as “regal,” “splendid,” or “one who shines.” It appears across North and Western Indian languages (notably Hindi and Gujarati), with the transliteration Raajul sometimes used to reflect the long vowel. While many “Raj‑” names skew masculine, Rajul functions as a unisex name in modern usage.

Literary presence anchors it in Jain tradition: Rajul (an affectionate form of Rajimati/Rajulmati) is the celebrated princess betrothed to Tirthankara Neminatha, a story that encourages feminine use among Jains. Variants and related forms include Rajula (feminine), Raajul (spelling), and cognates from the same root such as Raju, Rajiv, and Rajesh. Note the Arabic homonym rajul, meaning “man,” which is a common noun rather than a personal name.
