''. The name means "gift of the most merciful", ''ar-Rahman'' being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. The letter ''a'' of the ''al-'' is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, usually by ''u''. Because the letter ''r'' is a sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic and Urdu with letters corresponding to ''Ata al-Rahman'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Ata ur-Rahman''. The transliteration ''Atta'' often appears for the first element and ''Rehman'' for the last, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
