Merciful or compassionate
Rahkeem is a modern American variant of the Arabic name Rahim, which is one of the 99 names of Allah in the Quran. It signifies a deep sense of mercy, kindness, and compassion toward others. The 'Ra-' prefix is often used in African American naming traditions to create a unique, rhythmic variation of traditional roots.
