Abdurahman is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic Abd al-Rahman, composed of abd (servant) and al-Rahman (the Most Merciful — one of the 99 names of God), meaning 'servant of the Most Merciful.'
Abd al-Rahman is one of the most popular compound names in the Islamic world, combining the devotional prefix abd (servant of God) with one of God's most beautiful names.
