What is the meaning of the name Abdulhayy ?

The baby name Abdulhayy is a Male name and is pronounced /æb.dʊlˈhaɪ/ (AB-dul-HAY or abd-ul-HAYY).

Abdulhayy is Arabic in Origin.

Abdulhayy is an Arabic theophoric male name from ʿAbd al-Ḥayy, built from ʿabd (“servant”), al- (“the”), and al-Ḥayy (“the Ever-Living”), one of the 99 Names of God in Islam. The meaning is “servant of the Ever-Living [God].” In Classical Arabic the name is written عبد الحيّ and commonly pronounced “Abdul-Hayy,” with the definite article preserved because ḥ is not a sun letter.

Use is documented across the Islamic world from the medieval period onward, borne by scholars and Sufi figures such as Abd al-Hayy al-Lakhnawī (India) and Abd al-Hayy al-Kattānī (Morocco). Regional spellings include Abd al-Hayy (standard), Abdul-Hayy or Abdul Hai (South Asia), Abdelhay/Abdelhaï (North Africa and Francophone contexts), Abdolhay (Persian), and Abdülhay (Turkish). Short everyday forms like Abdul or Abdo occur, though the full compound maintains the devotional meaning. Related compounds include Abdulhadi, Abdulhakim, and other ʿAbd + divine name formations.
