Rahul and Rahil

The 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.

Weird! I saw a few Rahayil, Rahul, Rehul and other forms in a list of Salonician Jews...
