Raheemah

A Quranic Name for Girls

Raheemah is variant of Raheema and has the exact same meaning and pronunciation (see below for full meaning). You can use either Raheemah or Raheema, both are correct and acceptable. If you like this variant more and you'd like to pronounce it the way it is spelled (different than the original name), this is perfectly acceptable. For more details please see the main entry at: Raheema.

Full Meaning of Raheemah

Raheemah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means merciful, kind, tenderhearted. It is derived from the R-H6-M which is used often in the Quran and is the root of two of the most important names of Allah: ar-Rahmaan (the Most Gracious) and ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful). Below is an example of the R-H6-M root in the Quran:

The heavens are almost split asunder from above as the angels sing their Lord’s praise and seek forgiveness for those on earth. God is indeed the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. (Quran 42:5)

Raheemah should not be confused with Raahima, which has a close meaning and pronunciation but is a different word.
