History & Origin
Radiah is best read as a variant of the Arabic Radiyah, built on a root meaning 'content, satisfied, pleased'. In Islamic naming it carries a sense of contentment and divine favor, which the English spelling preserves in sound.
It was one of the scarcest names of its decade, flickering into US records only in the nineteen-seventies and vanishing almost at once. Its rarity makes it hard to trace with certainty, so the Arabic reading, while likely, is offered with caution rather than confidence.
