Raif, Raaif or Raef (Arabic: رَائِف rā’if) is an Arabic male given name meaning "kind, compassionate, affectionate, benign" or "sympathetic, merciful". The name comes from the Arabic verb ra’afa (رَأَفَ) "to have compassion for, have mercy upon, be merciful toward" and stems from it the noun ra’ūf or rawūf (رَؤُوفَ) which is also used as the male given name Rauf.
However, the name Rauf is an exaggerated form and Raif is an agent noun which is also exaggerated in nature.
Other written variants are Ra'ef, Rayif or Raefe.
