Abdol as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Abdol

What is the meaning of the name Abdol ?

The baby name Abdol is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AB-dol (IPA: /æbˈdɔl/).

Abdol is Arabic in Origin.

Abdol is the Persianized form of Arabic Abd al-, from abd “servant, worshiper” + al “the,” literally “servant of the … [Divine Name].” In Iranian Persian orthography and speech, al often becomes ol, yielding Abdol- before the second element (e.g., Abdolkarim, Abdolhamid). The semantic value is devotional: the bearer is a servant of God (or, in Shi'i compounds, of a revered figure like Hossein or Reza).

As a standalone given name, Abdol appears in Persian-language records, though classical Arabic usage treats Abd al- as a prefix requiring completion. Variants and regional spellings include Abdul, Abd al-, Abdel (Maghrebi), Abdoul/Abdool (West Africa/South Asia), and Abd-ul in older English transliterations. Related names: Abdullah/Abdollah, Abdulaziz/Abdolaziz, Abdulrahman/Abdolrahman. The name’s popularity has been steady in Iran and neighboring regions, where compound theophoric forms remain traditional and widely respected.
