Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Arabic.
Abdullah is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, meaning "servant of God," composed of abd (servant) and Allah (God). It is one of the most historically significant names in the Islamic world — the name of the Prophet Muhammad's father.
Abdullah ranks among the most common names across the Muslim world, from Morocco to Indonesia. In the United States, it has grown steadily as Arabic names have become more visible, and it carries deep spiritual resonance for Muslim families.
