Raahim is an Arabic name derived from the root ra-hi-ma (ر ح م), which conveys mercy and compassion. It is a variant transliteration of Rahim, one of the 99 names of Allah (al-Rahim, the Most Merciful). The name has been used across Muslim-majority countries and among Muslim communities worldwide, though it is less common in Western contexts. Its spelling with double 'a' distinguishes it from the more standard Rahim.
