Arham means ‘more merciful’ or ‘most merciful’ in Arabic. Wiktionary records arḥam as a comparative form related to raḥīm, ‘merciful’ or ‘compassionate’, and cites Quran 12:92. The same Roman spelling is also used for a Jain devotional term associated with the worthy one. That is a separate linguistic and religious connection; the Arabic entry supports the mercy meaning, but cannot serve as evidence for the Jain term's origin.

Spelling and pronunciation
أَرْحَم is approximately ar-ham in Arabic, with two short vowels; अरहम is a Hindi rendering. Arhaam and Arhum are alternative Roman forms. Arabic ḥ is made deeper in the throat than English h, while South Asian pronunciations may use a plain h. Arhaan is a different name.
Also spelled Arhaam, Arhum.
