Meaning and origin of Shaafi
Shaafi, or Shāfī, means one who heals, from a root meaning to heal. A well-known supplication of the Prophet ﷺ calls God al-Shāfī, the Healer, so some families choose the longer ʿAbd al-Shafi, servant of the Healer. This name should not be mixed up with al-Shāfiʿī, the jurist after whom the Shafiʿi legal school is named, since his name comes from the root sh-f-ʿ, intercession.
