Abdur Rahman is Arabic in Origin.
Abdur Rahman is an Arabic masculine theophoric name, with the Classical Arabic form ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, عبد الرحمن. Its first element, ʿabd, denotes a servant or worshipper; al is the definite article, assimilated in pronunciation before the solar consonant r of Raḥmān. Raḥmān is an intensive adjective from the Semitic root R-Ḥ-M, associated with mercy and compassion, so the literal sense is servant of the Most Merciful.
The name belongs to the Islamic ʿabd plus divine attribute pattern; al-Raḥmān is a Qurʾanic name of God, notably in Sura 55 and in the basmala. Early Muslim bearers include ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, a companion of Muhammad, and several Umayyad rulers in al-Andalus. Regional spellings reflect Arabic pronunciation and transliteration habits: Abdul Rahman, Abdel Rahman, Abdulrahman, and South Asian Abdul Rehman are common forms in modern records.
