History & Origin

Rasool is a devotional Arabic name meaning 'messenger,' the honored title given to the Prophet Muhammad in Islamic tradition. In the United States it appears chiefly among Muslim families and reflects the broader embrace of Arabic and Islamic names from the mid-twentieth century on.

Rasool was never common here, given to about nineteen boys a year at its peak around 1977, and it has stayed a quiet but steady choice since. It keeps its full religious weight wherever it is used.

Did you know? Rasool comes from the same Arabic root as the word rasul in the Islamic profession of faith, and it grew in the United States alongside the wider adoption of Arabic and Muslim names among Black American families from the 1960s onward.
