What is the meaning of the name Reda ?

The baby name Reda is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced REH-dah (English approximation; IPA: /ˈrɛdə/; Arabic: /reˈdɑː/).

Reda is Arabic in Origin.

Reda has two well-established origins. In Arabic (riḍā, رضا), it denotes “contentment, approval, satisfaction” - a spiritual virtue in Islamic theology and Sufism. The name is borne chiefly by men across Egypt and the Maghreb, though it can be unisex, and its prominence grew through devotion to the 8th Shia Imam, Ali al-Rida (Imam Reza). Common variants and cognates include Rida, Ridha, Redha, Ridaa; Persian Reza; Turkish Rıza; and Malay/Indonesian Ridho.

In Lithuanian, Reda is an independent feminine name derived from reda/rėdyti, “order; to arrange, to set in order.” It gained wider use in the 20th century during national naming revivals and remains favored for its concise shape and positive, orderly connotations. A related Lithuanian form is Redita. Across cultures, Reda functions both as a virtue name and as a Baltic word-name with a calm, well-composed meaning.
