Abdur Razzaq is Arabic in Origin.

Abdur Razzaq derives from Arabic Abd al-Razzaq, meaning “servant of the Provider.” It combines Abd “servant,” the article al-, and Razzaq “ever-Providing,” one of the 99 Names of God. Because r is a sun letter, al- assimilates to ar-, producing the common South Asian form Abdur Razzaq; other spellings include Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Razaq, Abdul Razzak, Abd al-Razzaq, Abdelrazak/Abderrazak (Maghrebi), Abdulrazaq, and the Turkish Abdürrezzak. Colloquial shortenings include Razzaq/Razaq or Abdul.

The name has been used across the Islamic world since the early centuries of Islam, from the Arab lands to Persia/Iran, Central and South Asia, the Maghreb, and the Ottoman sphere. Noted bearers include the hadith scholar Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanani (d. 827) and the Timurid envoy-historian Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi (15th century). It conveys devotion and trust in divine sustenance; Razzaq also appears independently as a family name in many Muslim communities.
