Arabic ʿAbd al-Razzāq combines ʿabd (“servant, worshipper”) with al‑ (“the”) and al‑Razzāq, a divine epithet meaning “the All‑Provider/Sustainer,” from the root R‑Z‑Q “to grant provision.” Razzāq is an intensive form on the fa‘āl pattern, emphasizing continual bestowal of livelihood and blessings. The name thus signifies “servant of the Provider,” expressing devotion to God as the source of sustenance.

Attested since the early centuries of Islam, it appears among scholars and officials, e.g., the hadith compiler ʿAbd al‑Razzāq al‑Ṣanʿānī (8th–9th c.) and the Timurid-era historian ʿAbd al‑Razzāq Samarqandī. Widely used across the Arab world, South Asia, the Horn of Africa, and Southeast Asia, its transliterations vary by language: ʿAbd ar‑Razzāq (reflecting assimilation), Abdur Razzaq, Abdul Razzaq/Razaq/Razak, Abdel Razzaq/Abdelrazek, Abdürrezzak (Turkish), and Razack in some diasporic contexts. Spacing and hyphenation also fluctuate (Abdul‑Razzaq, Abdul Razzaque).
