Reza (Persian: رضا, romanized: Rezâ) is the Persian variant of the Arabic name Rida, which literally means "the fact of being pleased or contented; contentment, approval".[1] It is one of the most widely used names in Iran.
According to Annemarie Schimmel, "riḍā is closely related to shukr"; "shukr" is an Arabic term denoting thankfulness and gratitude.[2] In Islam, rida is interpreted as satisfaction or "perfect contentment with God's will or decree".
