Raja, originating from India and meaning 'king' or 'royalty', is a gender-neutral given name of Sanskrit origin. It's often used by families seeking to confer a sense of regal elegance and dignity upon their child.
The name Raja experienced a significant rise in popularity between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, with peaks of 21 births in 1994 and 28 births in both 2006 and 2007. However, it appears that its popularity has declined since then, with fewer than 20 births recorded annually between 2010 and 2023, inclusive. Over the entire period from 1967 to 2023, there were a total of 836 babies named Raja.
