Ratul (रातुल) is a Bengali and Assamese name. The Samsad Bengali–English Dictionary records rātula as an adjective meaning "blood-red, red, crimson", a colour word used in poetry. Name lists today usually give Ratul as "sweet" or "truthful"; we could not find either sense in a dictionary, so they appear to be modern meanings attached to the name rather than its original sense. The name is short, easy to say, and used across eastern India and Bangladesh.
