The name is identical with the word róða which means "bar, pole, or rod". Here it is referring to one of Norway's many terminal moraines, and the farm and the church named after it. Prior to 1921, the name was written "Raade".Coat-of-armsThe coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 30 May 1980. The arms are canting for the name of the municipality.
