I’m wondering if anyone knows an Irish name Radha? I’ve seen two ways to say it online row+a and rye+a.

I know a Rada. She's Polish. It's said Rah-da.

I’d go Rye-a based on Sadhbh being pronounced Syve. Not a name I’ve ever heard- what’s it’s provenance?

Don't know the Irish pronunciation but in Arabic both of the A sounds are emphasised Ràhdà.
It is also a Hindu name.

For me that's an Indian name and I'd pronounce it very phonetically with a soft 'h'.
