Roberts likes a radio beginning with the letter ‘R’. There’s the Revival, the Rambler, the Reunion, and even an alarm-clocked shaped radio called the Rest – it’s Jonathan Ross’s worst nightmare.
The Roberts Reva continues said tradition, but unlike its stablemates, we’re not quite sure what that moniker actually signifies. A quick Google search reveals that Reva is a female name of Sanskrit origin that means "one that moves”, although that’s a touch confusing considering that this categorically is not a portable radio. In Hebrew the name can refer to a rain or shower, whereas in Swedish, it means a split, tear or rift.
