Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno vzniklo osamostatnením domáckej podoby slovanských zložených mien so základom Rad-, napríklad Radoslav, Radomír či Radovan. Tento základ súvisí s praslovanským prídavným menom *radъ vo významoch „radostný“, „rád“ a „ochotný“; prípona -ek mala pôvodne hypokoristickú funkciu.
