Rahiim
Rahiim Origin and Meaning
Rahiim is a masculine name of Arabic origin, representing a variation of Rahim, which means 'merciful,' 'compassionate,' or 'kind-hearted.' The name derives from one of the 99 attributes of Allah in Islamic tradition—Ar-Rahīm (The Merciful). This spelling variation with the double 'i' emphasizes the long vowel sound in the traditional pronunciation. Rahiim carries spiritual significance for Muslim families while embodying qualities parents might wish for their child to develop. Though less common than the standard spelling Rahim, this variant maintains the name's beautiful meaning and cultural connections while offering a slightly distinctive presentation. The name's positive attributes make it meaningful across cultures, even as it remains strongly tied to Islamic heritage.
