Ladarius Origin and Meaning

The name Ladarius is a boy's name meaning "possessing goodness; princely, noble".

Ladarius (often written as LaDarius) could be a compound name, created by combining the name Darius with the prefix la - or with any name starting or ending in la (such as Lamar, Lawrence, or Layla). This would give it the meaning "the possessor of goodness". Alternatively, it could come from the Greek element lados and the Latin word arius meaning "princely" or "noble".

Either way, the name has a positive meaning and a pleasing flow, though some may find it a little dated now since it peaked in the 90s, when it featured in the US Top 1000. Notable bearers include cheerleader La'Darius Marshall and football players Ladarius Green, LaDarius Henderson, and LaDarius Gunter.
