Rahul And Athiya Unveil Meaning Of Their Daughter’s Name
On April 18, 2025, KL Rahul and his wife, Athiya Shetty, officially announced the name of their newborn daughter, Evaarah Vipula Rahul.
Athiya unveiled the significance of the unique and lovely name. She said that "Evaarah" is of Sanskrit origin and it signifies "Gift of God." The name signifies the deep gratitude and happiness of the couple in becoming parents.
The baby’s middle name, “Vipula,” holds emotional value as it is a tribute to Athiya’s maternal grandmother (nani), someone very close to her heart. The last part of the name, “Rahul,” is, of course, a nod to her father, KL Rahul.
