What is the meaning of the name Badruddin ?

The baby name Badruddin is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced BAD-roo-DEEN (approx.; Arabic: Badr ad-Dīn) — IPA: /ˈbædruːdiːn/.

Badruddin is Arabic in Origin.

From Arabic بدر الدين (Badr al-Dīn), Badruddin combines badr, “full moon,” with al-dīn, “of the faith,” yielding “full moon of the religion” - a luminous honorific praising excellence in religious learning and character. The structure belongs to a classical Arabic naming pattern that links a virtue or image to dīn “religion,” producing laqab-style compounds.

The name appears across the Islamic world from the 12th century onward among scholars, jurists, and rulers, including Badr al-Dīn Lu’lu’ of Mosul and the historian Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī; in South Asia it gained durable use, borne by figures such as Badruddin Tyabji. Regional variants reflect phonology and colonial transliteration: Badr al-Din, Badr ud-Din, Badruddin/Badr Uddin (South Asia), Badaruddin, Badruddeen, Badreddine (Maghreb/Francophone), and Bedreddin (Turkish/Ottoman). Badr may serve as a familiar short form, while related feminine forms include Badriyya/Badriya. Usage today remains steady in Muslim communities, balancing classical gravitas with poetic imagery.
