Rahul and RahilThe Arabic form of Rahel is Rahil. Rahul is only a masculine Indian name.The four Arabic names books that I checked don't list Rahul, and the only that has an equivalence for Rahel (Rahil) is The Book of Muslim Names.Lumia

As I asked before on this board, where did the meaning come from? I am not aware of this meaning, and I just checked one dictionary, and it does not provide this meaning either.It was indeed the name of Gautama Buddha's son, and is quite popular in some parts of India. I always thought that it meant someone who grabs hold of you, an epithet of earthly desires.

Is it male or female? And what country is it from?
