Ramprasad

Ramprasad meaning

Ramprasad (रामप्रसाद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.

Grace of Rāma: rāma + prasāda 'favour, grace, sacred offering'

Also used to mean: grace of rama, blessing of rama

Ramprasad (रामप्रसाद) joins Rāma with prasāda, which Monier-Williams gives as graciousness, kindness and favour, a free gift, and the food offered to a deity and shared out as a blessing, the prasad of temple worship. So the name means "the grace" or "blessing of Rāma", as name lists also say. It is used in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and among Indian families of the Caribbean, where it became the surname Rampersad. Famous bearers include the Bengali poet-saint Ramprasad Sen and the freedom fighter Ram Prasad Bismil.
