Rafi (name)

Rafi (Arabic: رافع, romanized: rāfiʿ) is a male given name of Armenian and Arabic origin. It is one of the names of Allah, stemming from the Arabic verb rafaʿa (رَفَعَ), meaning "to lift, to raise (something high)". It is distinct from another male name, Rafi (Arabic: رفيع, romanized: rafīʿ, meaning "exalted/grand/high"). Other common transcriptions include "Rafee", "Rafie", "Rafay" and "Raffy".

Raffi (Armenian: Րաֆֆի or Ռաֆֆի) is also an Armenian given name. It was popularized by the 19th-century author Hakob Melik Hakobian, who adopted it as his pen name.[1]

Rafi (Hebrew: רפי) is also a common nickname amongst Jews for people named Rafael.
