What is the meaning of the name Bader ?

The baby name Bader is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BAH-der (English: /ˈbɑːdər/; Arabic form: Badr [badr]).

Bader is Arabic in Origin.

Bader is a masculine given name in the Arab world, a common transliteration of Arabic بدر (Badr), “full moon.” The word evokes the radiant full moon, symbolizing beauty, completeness, and auspicious timing. It gained prominence in early Islamic culture through the Battle of Badr (624 CE), and classical poets often used badr to praise a beloved’s face. As a given name, Bader/Badr remains widespread across the Gulf, Levant, and North Africa.

Variants include Badr, Badar (South Asia), Badir, and Turkish Bedir; related feminines are Badra and Badriyya/Badriya. Compound forms such as Badr al-Din (“full moon of the faith”) and the surname al-Badri also occur. Outside the Semitic context, Bader is a Germanic occupational surname from Middle High German bader, “bathhouse keeper” or “barber-surgeon,” source of the English surname borne by aviator Douglas Bader; as a given name in that line it is rare.
