Rachman

Rachman is a masculine name with multicultural roots. It appears as a variant of Rahman, which derives from Arabic origins meaning "merciful" or "compassionate" - one of the 99 names of Allah in Islamic tradition. The name can also be found in Indonesian, Malaysian, and various Central Asian cultures. In some Eastern European contexts, particularly Jewish communities, Rachman may derive from the Yiddish word for "merciful person." While not commonly ranked in Western naming charts, Rachman enjoys some popularity in Muslim-majority countries and multicultural communities. Its spelling variation with the 'ch' rather than 'h' may reflect transliteration differences or regional pronunciation preferences.

Pronounced RAHK-man.
