Abdur Razak is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.
Abdur Razak is a theophoric Arabic compound name from ʿAbd (“servant”) + al‑Razzāq (“the Provider, Bestower of Sustenance”), one of the 99 Names of God. Because r is a sun letter, the article al assimilates in speech to ar, yielding ʿAbd ar‑Razzāq; this underlies spellings such as Abdur Razak/Razzaq. Other transliterations include Abd al‑Razzaq, Abdul Razzaq, Abdul Razaq, Abdelrazak, Abdirizak (Somali), and Razak in Malay/Indonesian usage.
The name has been used across the Islamic world since early Islam, borne by the Yemeni hadith scholar ʿAbd al‑Razzaq al‑Ṣanʿānī (8th–9th c.) and many modern figures in South and Southeast Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. Meaning centers on humble service to the Divine Provider. Short forms and hypocoristics include Abdul, Abdu, Abdi, and Razak/Razzaq; the second element sometimes functions as a standalone given or family name.
