Meaning & Origin
A surname from Arabic.
Abdelrahman is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic Abd al-Rahman, composed of abd (servant, worshipper) and al-Rahman (the Merciful One — one of God's 99 names), meaning 'servant of the Merciful' or 'worshipper of God the Compassionate.'
Abdelrahman is one of the most deeply Islamic of all given names — it combines the servant (abd) formula with one of the most beautiful divine names in the Quran. Al-Rahman appears in the opening verse of almost every chapter of the Quran, and has an entire Surah (Chapter 55) dedicated to it. Across the Arab world and Muslim communities globally, Abdelrahman ranks among the most beloved and meaningful names a boy can receive.
