Razi as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Razi

What is the meaning of the name Razi ?

The baby name Razi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RAH-zee.

Razi is Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Persian in Origin.

Razi is best treated as a short English spelling with overlapping Semitic and Perso-Arabic histories. In Jewish Aramaic and Hebrew, rāz/raz means secret or mystery; with the possessive suffix -i, Razi reads my secret. Raziah or Raziyah adds the theophoric element -yah, producing Yahweh’s secret. A separate Islamic form reflects Arabic rāḍī, active participle of raḍiya, to be pleased or satisfied, rendered Rāzī in Persian pronunciation.

Medieval Arabic biographical usage made al-Rāzī a nisba for someone from Rayy, Iran, as in the physician Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī and the theologian Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. As a feminine given name, Razi is more often an abbreviated or Anglicized form of Razia, Raziya, Razieh, or Radhiyah in Persianate and South Asian Muslim contexts. Recent American data leaves it rare for girls, alongside stronger male registration.
