They are called "an‘aam" because of the multiple "ni‘am" (blessings) which Allah Almighty has placed in them for mankind, like their ability to grow, give birth, produce milk, and man's use of their wool, fur, hair, and their backs as riding mounts, along with all other forms of benefit derived from them.
