Meaning & origin
Razi is a rare Arabic name that has seen modest but consistent use in the United States since it first appeared in 1984. With a rank of 12,008 in 2025 and a 1-in-341,615 frequency, it is an uncommon choice. Its peak year was 2006, and the name has maintained a stable trajectory over the past two decades. The name's meaning of contentment gives it a positive resonance. While not widely associated with any top states due to its rarity, Razi appeals to families seeking a distinctive name with deep roots in Arabic culture.
Razi derives from the Arabic root r-ḍ-y (ر-ض-ي), relating to contentment and satisfaction. It is closely related to the name Radi, sharing the same root. The name has been used historically across the Muslim world, notably by scholars such as the Persian polymath Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (Rhazes), though the scholar's name is a nisba referring to the city of Rayy. As a personal name, Razi carries positive connotations of spiritual contentment.
