Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno sa najčastejšie vykladá ako české novodobé meno utvorené zo slovanského základu rad- vo význame „radostný“, „ochotný“ alebo „majúci radosť“. Pôvod zakončenia -úz však nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Alternatívny výklad ho spája s poslovančenou podobou germánskych mien doložených v latinizovaných formách, preto presný pôvod mena zostáva neistý.
