Abdul Rehman is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.

Abdul Rehman is an Arabic theophoric compound from ʿAbd “servant,” al- “the,” and al-Raḥmān, “the Most Merciful,” one of the 99 Names of God in Islam; it means “servant of the Most Merciful.” In Arabic phonology the article assimilates to the sun letter r, yielding the pronunciation ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān, often spelled Abdulrahman, Abdul-Rahman, or Abdurrahman.

Documented since the earliest Islamic centuries, it was borne by notables such as the Companion ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf and the Umayyad ruler ʿAbd al-Raḥmān I of Córdoba, spreading the name across the Arab world, North and West Africa, al-Andalus, and later South and Southeast Asia. Regional spellings include Abdul Rehman (Urdu/Pakistani), Abdur Rahman (Bengali), Abdurrahman (Turkish, Indonesian, Malay), and Abdurahman (Bosnian). Common short forms are Abdul, Abdur, and Rahman. In Arabic usage, ʿAbd/Abdul is a prefix rather than a standalone name, while Rehman also appears as a South Asian surname.
