Randhir meaning
Randhir (रणधीर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Steadfast in battle: raṇa 'battle' + dhīra 'steady, brave'
Also used to mean: steady in battle
Randhir (रणधीर) joins raṇa, "battle, war", with dhīra, which Monier-Williams gives as steady, firm, resolute and brave, and, as a separate word, wise and skilful. So the name describes someone who stays calm and unshaken in the fight, "steadfast in battle". Name lists give "brave" or "steady in battle", in line with the parts. The joined form is not a dictionary headword. Randhir is used by Hindu and Sikh families in north India; a well-known bearer is the actor Randhir Kapoor.
