Ravidas is Indian in Origin.
Ravidas is an Indic male given name formed from Sanskrit ravi (sun, also a divine epithet) and dāsa (servant, devotee), yielding the sense “servant of the Sun” or, more broadly, “devoted servant of God.” It appears chiefly in Hindi and Punjabi and is recognized across North India.
The name is strongly tied to the 15th–16th-century Bhakti saint Guru Ravidas, whose egalitarian hymns (some preserved in the Sikh Guru Granth Sahib) shaped North Indian devotional culture and inspired figures like Mirabai. In his honor, Ravidas is used both as a forename and, among followers, as a family name; it also marks the Ravidassia community. Established variants and spellings include Raidas (Hindi), Rohidas (Marathi), Ravidass (Punjabi/overseas), and Ravidasa (Sanskritized). Parents may choose Ravidas for its associations with humility, devotion, and social reform as well as its radiant sun imagery.
