The word 'Raghavendra' figures among the choice of first names for a male in India. Perhaps the most famous bearer of the name is the 17th century Hindu saint Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy [1595-1671] of Kannada. The name is of ancient, venerable Sanskrit origin. In its entirety, the name means One whose Lord is Raghava, and One who destroys sin and bestows desired things. The syllable-by-syllable meaning of the name is as follows: 'Ra-' destroys mountains of sin; '-gha-' gives deep-rooted devotion; '-ven-' gives speedy liberation from the cycle of life and death; and '-dra' gives the blessing of the vision of the Lord.
