I cannot help but think of the Verkhovna Rada. "Рада (Rada)" means "council" in Ukrainian.
Also Slovene: https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rada
Rad- or Rada is found at the beginning of several Bulgarian names, both masculine and feminine. For example
Radka - nickname for Rada also used independently
Radostin and Radostin - both come from the Bulgarian word racist, meaning joy
Radomir - masculine name meaning joyful pace. It is also the name of a city in Bulgaria
Radoslav(a)
Radan, Radana.
Rada was the name of a character in the 1975 Soviet film Табор уходит в небо (Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven), which was loosely inspired by the works of Maxim Gorky.
Rada literally means "she who is happy" in Russian, nothing to do with care.
Pronounced RAH dah, accent on first syllable, sounds much softer in Russian then in English. [noted -ed]
