Reham is an Arabic name that entered U.S. records in 1985, reflecting the growing diversity of names chosen by American families with Middle Eastern heritage. In 2025, it ranked 13,208th, with about 1 in 267,878 baby girls receiving the name that year. Its peak popularity came in 2018, after which its usage began a gradual decline through the late 2010s and early 2020s. While not among the most common Arabic names in the U.S., Reham has a steady presence, often chosen for its lyrical sound and meaningful connection to the concept of divine mercy.
Reham is an Arabic feminine name derived from the root ر-ح-م (r-ḥ-m), relating to mercy, compassion, and kindness. It is directly associated with the noun raḥma (mercy) and shares its root with the Divine attribute Ar-Raḥmān (the Most Gracious). The name has been used across the Arabic-speaking world and Muslim communities, often chosen for its spiritual connotation of divine blessing.
