PURPORT
The name Radha is derived from this verse (Bhag.10.30.28), from the words anayaradhitah, meaning “by Her the Lord is worshiped.” Sometimes the critics of Srimad-Bhagavatam find it difficult to find Radharani’s holy name, but the secret is disclosed here in the word aradhitah, from which the name Radha has come.
Of course, the name of Radharani is directly mentioned in other Puranas.
This gopi’s worship of Krsna is topmost, and therefore Her name is Radha, or the topmost worshiper.
