Meaning & History

Derived from the Persian noun رود (rud) meaning "river, torrent" combined with the Persian noun آب (ab) meaning "water".

Rudabeh (also known as Rudaba) is the name of a Persian mythological figure, who was featured in the 10th-century Persian epic poem Shahnameh written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi. She was the mother of the hero Rostam and the wife of Zal.
