Raqeeb is an Arabic given name derived from "qa'aba," meaning 'to return'. It signifies 'the one who returns or comes back', reflecting hope and anticipation in Islamic tradition, particularly in relation to the Day of Judgment, where Raqeeb is one of two recording angels. This unique name has been used in Arabic literature, including poetry by Imru' al-Qais, and remains popular among Muslims globally due to its profound meaning.
