Fazlurrahman is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.

Fazlurrahman is a masculine theophoric compound from Arabic, built on faḍl (فضل, “bounty, grace”) + al‑Raḥmān (الرحمن, “the Most Merciful,” a divine epithet). In the genitive idafa construction faḍl al‑Raḥmān means “bounty of the Most Merciful.” Through Persian–Urdu orthography the linking vowel and consonant appear as ‑ur‑/‑ar‑, yielding forms like Fazl‑ur‑Rahman, which in South Asian practice often compresses to Fazlurrahman.

Carried widely across the Persianate and South Asian Islamic world since the medieval period, the name has been favored among scholars, clerics, and professionals and remains common in Bangladesh, Pakistan, northern India, and their diasporas.

Meaning centers on divine favor and compassion, making the name a devotional expression as well as a personal identifier.
