Rahat, of Arabic origin, is a unisex given name that translates to 'compassion' or 'kindness'. It's composed of two elements: 'raḥma', meaning mercy or compassion, and the suffix '-t'. This name holds profound meaning and is often chosen by parents seeking to instill these virtues in their child. Rahat is also associated with the Arabic word for 'ease' or 'comfort', further emphasizing its positive connotations. It's a unique yet approachable name that stands out while maintaining a familiar feel.
Rahat has seen a steady but inconsistent increase in its popularity over time, with notable spikes in the years 2004 and 2010. However, it seems to have lost some of its appeal recently, with fewer births recorded in the past few years compared to earlier decades.
