Meaning & Origin
Abdulsalam is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, a compound of ʿAbd (servant) and al-Salām (peace, well-being), meaning 'servant of Peace' — one of the 99 beautiful names of God in Islam, Al-Salām describes God as the source of all peace and the one who grants well-being.
With over 103 recorded births, Abdulsalam is used in Arab and Muslim communities as a devotional name. Muhammad Abdus Salam (1926–1996), the Pakistani theoretical physicist who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the electroweak interaction — and who was the first Muslim Nobel laureate in science — bears one of the name's most distinguished forms. A name of divine peace and scientific achievement.
