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.
