What is the meaning of the name Rahmattullah ?

The baby name Rahmattullah is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced rah-MAT-ool-LAH (approx.); IPA: /raħmatulˈlɑːh/.

Rahmattullah is Arabic in Origin.

Rahmattullah is a theophoric Arabic name meaning “mercy of God,” built from rahma/rahmat (compassion, divine mercy) + Allah. In Arabic script it corresponds to Rahmat Allah (رحمة الله), an iḍāfa genitive construction signifying that mercy belongs to or comes from God. The doubled t in the presented spelling reflects the pronounced t in the construct phrase rahmat Allah used in many transliterations. The name is traditionally masculine, with Rahma as the common feminine counterpart.

Used across the Muslim world since the medieval period, it appears among scholars and Sufi figures and remains popular in South Asia, the Persianate sphere, the Arab world, and Turkey. Notable bearers include the 19th-century Indian scholar Rahmatullah Kairanawi. Common variants and transliterations are Rahmatullah, Rahmat Ullah, Rehmatullah, Rahmetullah (Turkish), and Rahmatollah (Persian); short forms include Rahmat/Rehmat. Related surnames sometimes derive from the given name.
