Abdul Rahiem is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.

Abdul Rahiem is an Arabic theophoric name built from ʿAbd al- (“servant of the”) and al-Raḥīm, one of the 99 Names of God meaning “the Most Merciful.” It ultimately derives from the Semitic root r-ḥ-m, associated with raḥma (mercy, compassion) and raḥim (womb), evoking protective tenderness. In classical transliteration the form is ʿAbd al-Raḥīm; the compound expresses devotion rather than literal servitude.

Used since the earliest Islamic centuries across the Arab world, Persia, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia. Regional spellings vary: Abdul Rahim/Raheem, Abdur Rahim, Abdelrahim/Abdel Rahim, Abderrahim, and Abdul Rahiem as an anglicized rendering. In Maghrebi Arabic: Abderrahim. Notable bearers include the Mughal statesman-poet ʿAbd al-Raḥīm Khān-i-Khānān. Traditional usage keeps the article al-; formally, “Abdul” requires a following divine epithet, though in modern contexts it is sometimes used standalone.
