Is "Dahmi" a name of Satan or the jinn, given that it is a diminutive of Abdul Rahman?
No evidence has been found to prove that the mentioned words are among the names of jinn or devils. The word "daḥm" in the Arabic language means strong pushing or the origin of something. There is no religious impediment to naming with this name or calling someone by it as a diminutive. Some people were indeed named with it in the past, such as the judge Abu Sa'id Uthman al-Dimashqi. Ibn Hibban mentioned that "Duḥaym" is a diminutive of "Daḥmān," which means "wicke" in their language.
