Etymology edit

From Arabic عَبْد (ʕabd, servant [of]) + ال (al-, the).

Pronunciation edit

  • (US) IPA(key): /ɑbˈdʊl/
    • (file)
  • Rhymes: -ʊl

Proper noun edit

Abdul

  1. A male given name from Arabic used by Muslims.

Usage notes edit

This is not based on a name used independently in Arabic, but a transliteration of Arabic for "servant of the", to be followed by one of the 99 names, or epithets, of Allah; e.g., Abdullatif. Both the epithet Latif ('the All-gentle') and the whole name Abdullatif ('servant of the All-gentle') are given to Muslim men. Women receive the feminine form of one of God’s epithets, such as Latifa. Abdul is not the same name as Abdullah.
