Abdur Raouf is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.
Abdur Raouf is an Arabic theophoric male name meaning “servant of al-Ra’ūf,” with ʿAbd (“servant”) plus the divine epithet al-Ra’ūf (“the Most Kind, Ever-Gentle”), one of the 99 Names of God in Islam. In careful transcription, the sun-letter assimilation of al- yields Abd ar-Ra’ūf. The name underscores humility before God and an aspiration to kindness and gentleness.
Used across the Arabic-speaking world and the wider Muslim sphere since the medieval period, it appears in diverse orthographies shaped by local languages and colonial scripts: Abd al-Ra’ūf, Abd ar-Raouf, Abdur Rauf, Abdul Rauf/Raoof, Abdurrauf, Abdel Raouf/Abdelraouf, and Abed El-Raouf; Rauf/Raouf often serves as a short form. Notable bearers include the Acehnese scholar Abdurrauf as-Singkili (17th century) and the Uzbek intellectual Abdurrauf Fitrat (20th century). The compound remains common in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, and Malay-Indonesian contexts.
