A given name, typically masculine, used in Indian cultures and derived from Sanskrit.
From Sanskrit 'Rahul,' a name used in Hindu mythology and Buddhism. In Buddhist tradition, Rahul was the son of Siddhartha (Buddha), and the name appears in Sanskrit texts centuries before the modern era.
Rahul was Buddha's own son according to Buddhist texts, which made it a spiritually significant name in ancient India—so when modern Indians name their children Rahul, they're connecting to thousands of years of Buddhist and Hindu tradition!
