Rehim is a direct Quranic name for boys that means āmercifulā, ākindā, ācompassionateā, ātenderheartedā. It is one of the most common words in the Quran, mentioned more than 200 times. It is the source of Allahās name ofĀ ar-Rehim, but without the āar-ā it becomes a general and acceptable name for boys, and the Quran uses it to describe the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah upon him.
