Abdul-Raouf is Arabic in Origin.
Abdul-Raouf is an Arabic theophoric compound from abd "servant," al- "the," and Ra'uf, one of the Quranic Names of God meaning "the Most Kind, Clement, All-Gentle." It therefore signifies "servant of the Most Kind." In Arabic phonology the article assimilates to the sun letter r, so it is pronounced Abd ar-Ra'uf; in Arabic script: عبد الرؤوف.
The name appears across the Muslim world from the early Islamic period, borne by jurists, Sufi scholars (notably Abd al-Ra'uf al-Sinkili of 17th-century Aceh), administrators, and modern public figures in North Africa, the Levant, Turkey, South Asia, and Maritime Southeast Asia. Spelling variants mirror regional pronunciation and romanization: Abd al-Ra'uf, Abd ar-Ra'uf, Abdul Rauf, Abdur Rauf, Abdurrauf/Abdürrauf, Abdelraouf/Abdel Raouf, Abdul-Rauf, Abdulraouf. Rauf or Raouf is also used alone as a given name with the meaning "kind, compassionate," distinct from the servant construction.
Abdul-Raouf is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 6 times, across 3 countries.
