Redha is Arabic in Origin.

Redha is an Arabic given name deriving from Riḍā (رضا), from the triliteral root R-Ḍ-Y meaning “to be pleased” or “content.” It conveys the virtues of contentment, acceptance, and divine approval - especially the serene acceptance of God’s decree valued in Islamic ethics and Sufi teachings. The name is predominantly masculine but Rida is also used for girls in some communities.

Usage spans the Arab world and Muslim diaspora, with strong popularity in the Maghreb, where the French-influenced spelling Redha (or Reda) is common. The name spread widely through reverence for ʿAlī al-Riḍā (Imam Reza), the 8th Imam in Shia Islam, whose shrine in Mashhad reinforced the Persian form Reza. Other variants include Ridha, Rida, Reda, Reza (Persian), Riza (Turkish/Balkan), and Ridho (Indonesian). As a virtue name, Redha has remained steadily favored from medieval scholarly circles to modern public figures across North Africa and the Middle East.
