Abdul
English edit
Etymology edit
From Arabic عَبْد (ʕabd, “servant [of]”) + ال (al-, “the”).
Pronunciation edit
Proper noun edit
Abdul
- 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.
