What is the origin and meaning of the name Rehaab (رحاب)?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My 2 years old nephew’s name is Rehaab (رحاب). Is it a good Islamic name? And what does it mean?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 691/583/H=6/1438)

One of the meanings of Rihab is ‘vast’. Owing to its meaning it is allowable to keep it as name. There is no harm in it. It may not be called non-Islamic name. However, if you keep the name after the name of prophets and sahabas then it is absolutely better.

Allah knows Best!
