Abdirahim

Meaning of Abdirahim

Abdirahim (ab-dee-RAH-heem / æbdɪˈrɑhiːm/) is a warm, inviting name of Arabic origin that literally means “servant of the Most Merciful.” Proudly borne in Somali and wider Islamic communities, it blends faith and kindness into a softly melodic package. Parents can think of Abdirahim as a gentle call to compassion—like a soft breeze urging one to pause and care—making it perfect for those seeking a name with genuine heart and heritage. Though it’s modestly rare in the U.S., hovering in the 900s with fewer than ten little Abdirahims born each year, you’re unlikely to spot another on the playground—unless you stroll into a lively Somali festival—adding a dash of playful delight to its distinctive charm.
