What is the meaning of the name Ruhullah ?

The baby name Ruhullah is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ruːˈhuːlɑː (ROO-HOO-lah).

Ruhullah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.

Ruhullah is an Arabic theophoric male name formed from rūḥ (روح, “spirit, soul”) and Allāh (الله, “God”), written روح الله and pronounced roughly roo-hoo-LAH, with ḥ a breathy h. It conveys the meaning “Spirit of God” or “God’s spirit,” echoing Qur’anic language where rūḥ denotes divine breath or life-giving spirit.

Across the Islamic world the compound appears both as an honorific epithet - most prominently a Qur’anic title of Jesus (ʿĪsā), Rūḥullāh - and as a given name chosen for its devotional resonance. It has been used in Arabic- and Persian-speaking lands since medieval times and remains familiar in Iran, Central and South Asia, and among diasporas. Notable bearer: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Common variants reflect regional pronunciation and transliteration: Ruhollah, Rouhollah, Rohullah/Rohollah, Rūhullāh; spaced or hyphenated forms Ruh Ullah, Rooh Ullah also occur. Related compounds include Ruhul- as a prefix (e.g., Ruhul Amin).
