Nimatullah

Nimatullah, also spelled Ni'matullāh, Nematollah etc. () is an Arabic male given name.

Etymology

Unlike Persian "Nima", whether used as masculine and usually feminine name, may have been possibly adopted from the neighbouring Arabic noun-adjective "<big>نِعْمَة</big> - <big>ni‘mah / ni‘amah</big>" - basic meaning: "blessing" or other meanings: "abundance; benefaction; beneficence; blessing; boon; favor; grace; kindness", for example, a lesser-composite Muslim masculine name like "<big>نِعْمَةُ ٱلله</big> - <big>Ni‘mat’Ullah / Ni‘amat’Ullah</big> - Blessing of Allah (God)" or a secondary meaning in the following sentence explained. However, this "<big>نِعْمَة</big> - <big>ni‘mah / ni‘amah</big>" denoted and referenced in the Quran is meant as "the Favour(s)/ Grace of Allah (God)".
