Abdullah is a male given name originating from Arabic roots. Its meaning is ‘servant of Allah,’ formed by combining the Arabic word ‘Abd,’ which means servant, with ‘Allah,’ the Islamic term for God. This name is highly regarded in Islamic culture for its humility before God and is prevalent among the Muslim community. The name was also borne by the father of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who passed away before his son’s birth. In Christianity, the Arabic Bible uses the term ‘Allah’ to refer to God, and it is not uncommon for Christians in the Middle East to have personal or family names that include ‘Abdullah.’ The name has evolved over time, with various cultural and linguistic adaptations, but its core meaning remains unchanged.
