What is the meaning of the name Rahmatullah ?

The baby name Rahmatullah is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced rah-MAH-too-lah (approx. /raħ.ma.tuˈl.lɑːh/).

Rahmatullah is Arabic in Origin.

Rahmatullah is an Arabic theophoric male name meaning “mercy of God,” from raḥma (mercy, compassion) + Allāh (God) in the iḍāfa genitive construction raḥmat Allāh. It appears across the Islamic world, especially in South Asia, the Persianate sphere, and Arabic-speaking lands, where it conveys blessings, piety, and benevolence. The name is grammatically a construct phrase, hence the traditional spacing Rahmat Ullah is also encountered.

Carried by scholars and Sufi figures, the name is recorded from medieval biographical dictionaries to modern times; a noted bearer is the 19th‑century Indian scholar Rahmatullah Kairanawi. Common variants reflect regional phonology and transliteration: Rehmatullah (Urdu/Pashto), Rahmatollah or Rahmatullāh (Persian), Rahmatulloh/Rahmatullo (Tajik/Uzbek), and Rahmetullah (Turkish). Short forms include Rahmat/Rehmat. Though chiefly masculine, related feminine names are Rahma and Rahmat, sharing the core meaning of divine mercy.
