Comments for the name Rahul

In Pali it is "Rahula". Son of prince Siddharta before he became Buddha. The meaning of Rahula is "chain" or "tied".

The Wall of Indian cricket and the captain, Rahul Dravid, bears this name. So does drug-addict Rahul Mahajan.

It's an okay name, really. But it seems to only fit on Indian people.

Pronounced "rah-hool".

There is a wonderful site about people with name Rahul, it's http://www.rahul.co.in
Must visit.

Sounds like a masculine form of Rachel.

Name also in Serbian, Radul, Radule, Radoje, Radojlo - 'j' pronounced like an English 'y' (meaning "one who works", "able to work" or "able to be happy", "one who is happy/joyful" since both "rad" (work) and "rad-ost" (happiness, joy) are of the same origin). Serbs (possibly Slavic people in general) believe that work is a source of happiness and satisfaction and should be done with happiness and satisfaction. It's most surely a cognate to Rahul.

Means Conqueror of all Miseries.
