Abdurrahman

Meaning of Abdurrahman

In Indian Muslim homes, the name Abdurrahman (ab-door-RAH-mahn in Arabic, ab-dur-RAH-muhn in English) dances off the tongue like a soft prayer. Stemming from Arabic roots, it means “servant of the Merciful” and brings a wave of blessing with each syllable. It’s like giving your little one a secret handshake with kindness—imagining a young boy with a gentle heart, learning courage under the mosque’s arches and sharing chai smiles with his nani. Playful yet profound, the name weaves centuries of tradition into modern dreams. Year after year in the US it quietly reappears on baby charts, reminding families that mercy and devotion sparkle everywhere.
