Rahim

If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Rahim is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Merciful', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Rahim comes from the Arabic root r-h-m, the same root behind Rahman, meaning “mercy.” Ar-Rahim (The Especially Merciful) is one of the ninety-nine names of Allah, and the two names appear together at the opening of every Surah but one: “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim.”
