The baby name Abdollah is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ab-DOH-lah (IPA: /æbˈdoʊlɑː/).
Abdollah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Abdollah is the Persian transliteration of the Arabic name ʿAbd Allāh (عبد الله), meaning “servant of God.” It combines ʿabd (“servant” or “worshipper”) with Allāh (“God”), forming a classic theophoric name that signifies devotion and humility. In Persian, the pronunciation softens to Abdollah, though the spelling in Arabic and Persian scripts is identical. The name is masculine and widely favored for its pious resonance across Muslim cultures.
Attested since pre-Islamic Arabia, it gained lasting prominence as the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s father and many early companions, scholars, and rulers. The form Abdollah is common in Iran, while other regional variants include Abdullah (standard Arabic/English), Abdallah (Levant), Abdellah (Maghreb), Abdulla (Turkic and Russian contexts), Abdulah (Bosnian), and Abdalla (East Africa). Diminutives like Abdi occur in several languages, and the name frequently appears as a surname through patronymic usage.
