The name Abdur-Rahim is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Servant of the Merciful', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Abdur-Rahim has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Abdur-Rahim is a compound of “abd” (servant) and “Ar-Rahim” (The Especially Merciful), one of the ninety-nine names of Allah, from the root r-h-m, meaning “to show mercy.”
