Ibaad
A boy's name of Arabic origin with 83 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. boy's names, Ibaad is not in the current national top 1,000. In fact, it is among the rarest names in the SSA dataset — a choice that signals bold individuality.
With records spanning 2012 to 2023, Ibaad has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.
Ibaad is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Ibaad is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from ibadah meaning 'worship, devotion to God.' The plural form ibad means 'servants of God.'
Ibaad is worship itself — the Arabic concept of divine devotion as a personal name.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Ibaad is rooted in the Arabic tradition, but its presence in American naming since 2012 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Ibaad’s rarity (83 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
