RajA (राज्ञे, IAST: Rājñe) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The King; the sovereign lord of all”. From the Sanskrit root rāj (to shine, to rule), rājā means 'the king' — and applied to Viṣṇu it denotes not an earthly monarch but the supreme, self-luminous sovereign of the entire cosmos, whose reign is grounded in dharma, compassion, and omnipotence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root rāj beautifully carries both meanings — to shine and to rule — so that the divine king is by nature also the one who illuminates all worlds with His presence. In the context of the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma, Rājā as a name of the Lord points to His viśvarūpa sovereignty, wherein all beings, all cycles of creation, and all orders of existence fall under His gentle, luminous governance.
Rāja (or Raj) is one of the most widely used names and name-elements in Hindu tradition, appearing across cultures and regions; as a given name it is popular and accessible, often combined as Rājendra, Rājakumar, or simply Rāj. Pronunciation: Rā-jā.
Scriptural source
RajA appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
