Abdullah Origin and Meaning
The name Abdullah is a boy's name of Arabic origin meaning "servant of Allah".
Abdullah is an alternative transcription of the name Abd Allah, which translates to "servant of Allah". Popular across throughout the Muslim world, it ranks in the Turkish Top 100 and the UK Top 200.
Significant in Islamic tradition, Abdullah not only reflects the importance of humility before God but it was also the name of the father of the Prophet Muhammad. Interestingly, the prophet's father died before he was born, which shows the name was already in use in pre-Islamic Arabia.
This could be explained by the fact it is also used by Mirzahi Jews, as a form of the Hebrew Abdiel or Obadiah, both meaning "servant of God".
