Atif (
Arabic: عاطف) is an
Arabic male name generally used by
Muslims and other communities belonging to an
Arabic background. In
Arabic, it means The kind one. In
Islam, Al-Wadud means the Kind One which is one of the
99 Names of Allah. However being an
Appellation, it cannot be regarded as an indigenous
Islamic name. A derivation of this name is Aatif. Its meaning is: Affectionate and Compassionate. The name Aatif is quite rare since most people spell the name as Atif. . The Actual Transliteration From The Arabic Language is Aatuif (Courtesy: Aatuif Muslim; Srinagar, Kashmir)
