Abdirahimane is Somali in Origin.

Abdirahimane is an East African and Francophone rendering of the Arabic theophoric name Abd al‑Rahim (ʿAbd ar‑Raḥīm), literally “servant of the Most Compassionate,” invoking one of the 99 Names of God. The spelling with final -e reflects French transliteration practices seen in the Maghreb, the Comoros/Mayotte, and parts of the Sahel, while the internal -i- preserves the Rahim element distinct from Rahman. The name appears in Somali, Swahili, and Arabic-speaking communities, often adapted to local phonology.

Used across the Islamic world since the early centuries of Islam, it has been borne by scholars, jurists, and poets; a well-known bearer is the Mughal statesman-poet Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan. Common variants include Abd al-Rahim, Abdul Rahim, Abdur Rahim, Abdulrahim; regional spellings Abdirahim/Abdirahime and Abderrahim/Abderrahime, with nicknames Abdi or Rahim. A closely related counterpart based on a different divine epithet is Abdirahman/Abderrahmane (from ar-Rahman, “the Most Merciful”).
