Explanation
The Most Lovingly Beneficent,  The Most Kind and Giving,  The Most Gracious, The Infinitely Good
The One who continually showers all of creation with blessings and prosperity without any disparity. The One who is most kind, loving and merciful.
The One whose endless, loving mercy is perfect and inclusive. The One who is overflowing with the quality of loving mercy and is continually pouring it upon all of creation.
The One whose perfect mercy and loving beneficence endlessly embrace all of creation. The One who loves and cherishes all of creation. The One who is most loving, gentle and merciful.

From the root r-h-m which has the following classical Arabic connotations:

to have tenderness, gentleness, kindness

to love

to have mercy, to have pity

to show favor and goodness

to have all that is required for beneficence

The root r-h-m also indicates womb; meaning that which provides protection and nourishment, and that from which all of creation is brought into being.

Rahmân conveys the idea of fullness and extensiveness, indicating the great quality of love and mercy which engulfs all of creation without any effort or request on our part.

Al-Rahmân is the Beneficent One whose endless outpouring of love and mercy are continually showered upon all of creation.

According to Ibn Qayyum (1350 AD), Rahmân describes the quality of abounding Grace which is inherent in and inseparable from the Almighty.

The Prophet is reported to have said:  "Al-Rahmân is the beneficent 
One whose love and mercy are manifested in the creation of the world 

In the Dictionary of the Holy Qur'ân, Abdul Omar quotes from classical resources:

Rahmân is an active participle noun of the measure fa'lân which 
conveys the idea of fullness and extensiveness and indicates the 
greatest preponderance of the quality of love and mercy which comprehends the entire universe without regard to our effort 
or asking, even before we are born. 
The creation of the sun, the moon, air and water, etc are all there because of this attribute....  the term Rahmân circumscribes the quality of abounding Grace inherent in and inseparable from the Almighty.
