As far as I remember it RARDEN actually stands for:

Royal Armaments Research & Development, ENfield. Ian Dunster 14:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I've heard that - I also note that some don't use all caps but have "Rarden" as for Sten GraemeLeggett 15:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I also often see it as "Rarden" and have been told that it's not an acronym.Jrssr5 20:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
It may be a made up name, rather than an acronym. However, the EN would have come from the RSAF Enfield and RARD may have come from RARDE - Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment.Pyrotec 20:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
