Abdirahman

Abdirahman is a masculine name from the Arabic Abd Al-Raḥmān, meaning “servant of the most gracious.” Ar-Rahman is one of the 99 names of God in the Quran, where Arabic theophoric names are inspired from. This lyrical appellation is beloved in the Somali community and is notably borne by Abdihakem Abdirahman, a Somali-American long-distance runner and four-time Olympic competitor. A pious choice, Abdirahman is deeply faithful and implies baby will do God’s work.
