Rasual is Arabic in Origin.

Rasual is a modern English-language variant of the Arabic name Rasul (رسول), meaning "messenger" or "apostle." In Islamic theology it designates a prophet entrusted with a revealed scripture, from the Semitic root r-s-l "to send," related to risalah "message." Through Persian, Turkish, and South Asian usage, the name appears as Rasul, Rasool, Rasoul, and Turkish Resul; Rasual likely reflects a U.S. respelling that inserts an extra vowel to mirror pronunciation.

While Rasul has long been used across the Arabic-speaking world, Central Asia, and South Asia, Rasual as a spelling surfaced chiefly in the United States in the late 20th century, particularly among African-American and Muslim families. Its visibility was boosted by NBA player Rasual Butler. The name carries dignified, spiritual overtones of guidance and communication. Common variants: Rasul, Rasool, Rasoul, Resul; short form: Ras. Related surnames (e.g., Rasulov, Rasool) derive from the same root.
