Meaning & Origin
Abdulhameed is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, combining Abdul ('servant of') and Hameed — from Al-Hamid, one of the 99 names of God in Islam, meaning 'the Praiseworthy, the Laudable.' Abdulhamid II (1842-1918) was the last sultan of the Ottoman Empire to rule with significant authority, whose reign of 33 years made him one of the longest-serving Ottoman rulers.
Abdulhameed declares its bearer to be the servant of the Praiseworthy God — a name of absolute Islamic devotion carrying both divine praise and the Ottoman sultan's complex historical legacy in a name that has been used across the Islamic world for centuries.
