Ripudhama is Sanskrit in Origin.

Ripudhama is a rare, Sanskrit-derived masculine name from North India. It is etymologically linked to the better-attested Ripudaman/Ripu-daman, formed from ripu "enemy" + damana "taming, subduing." Ripudhama is treated as an alternate transliteration within this name family, and carries the same sense: "subduer of foes," "one who conquers enemies," hence connotations of courage, discipline, and protective strength. The element ripu appears in classical Sanskrit literature and epics, where martial and kingly epithets favored such compounds.

Use has concentrated in Hindi- and Punjabi-speaking regions, with notable visibility through figures such as Maharaja Ripudaman Singh of Nabha (early 20th century). Documented variants and near-forms include Ripudaman, Ripudamana, Ripudhaman, Ripudham, and the short form Ripu; a feminine counterpart is very rare but sometimes modeled as Ripudamini. The name remains uncommon today, appealing to parents seeking a traditional, valorous meaning with an erudite Sanskrit flavor.
