Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Arabic used by Muslims.
Abdul is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic ʿabd meaning 'servant' or 'worshipper,' always used as a prefix with one of the 99 names of God in Islam (as in Abdul Rahman, Abdul Karim, Abdul Aziz). When used alone, Abdul carries the humble meaning of 'servant of God.'
Over 6,440 U.S. births are recorded. Abdul is used across the Muslim world from Morocco to Malaysia. It is one of the most common given name components globally, and carries the deep Islamic virtue of servitude before God.
