Revision as of 03:27, 14 December 2015 by 220 of Borg (talk | contribs) (→Males: + Abdelhamid Abaaoud)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Abdul Hamid (Template:Lang-ar) is a Muslim male given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Ḥamid. The name means "servant of the All-laudable", al-Ḥamīd being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.
The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by e. So the first part can appear as Abdel, Abdul or Abd-al. The second part may appear as Hamid, Hameed, or in other ways. The whole name is subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
