Etymology
Legends and folklore of the village says that a famous Sufi saint Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani (ra) while visiting through village came across few residents. While having conversations with them he concluded that :"people are friendly and land is blessed but it would have been gold (sun), if jealousy (Rath) would not have been a common trait among locals." So he called it Rathsun. (In Persian Rath means jealousness and sun means gold).
