Razah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Razah

What is the meaning of the name Razah ?

The baby name Razah is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced rɑˈzɑ (rah-ZAH).

Razah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.

Razah blends Arabic and Persian traditions. It most closely relates to Arabic riḍā (رضا), meaning “contentment, satisfaction, approval (especially God’s favor),” known in Persian as Reza and in Urdu as Raza. The -h ending reflects an English transliteration choice to signal a long final vowel and is sometimes adopted to lend a softer or feminine feel, though the name can be unisex. A parallel Semitic thread exists: in Syriac/Aramaic, rāzā means “mystery” or “sacrament,” and modern Hebrew raz means “secret,” adding a secondary, contemplative nuance.

Usage clusters in Iran and South Asia through the veneration of Imam Ali al-Ridha (Imam Reza), which made Reza/Raza widespread; Razah itself remains rare and modern. Related forms and variants include Raza, Reza, Ridha/Rida, Riza, and the feminine Razia; Raz serves as a familiar nickname. Overall meanings range from “divine approval; contentment” to “mystery.”
