What is the meaning of the name Kader ?

The baby name Kader is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced kah-DEHR.

Kader is Arabic, Turkish in Origin.

Kader is the Turkish spelling of a name and vocabulary word taken from Arabic qadar or qadr, written قدر. The Arabic root q-d-r carries the ideas of measuring, fixing an amount, determining, and having ability. Its earliest relevant form is the Qurʾanic and classical Arabic noun qadar, literal measure or allotment, later theological destiny or divine decree; the related adjective qādir gives the sense able, powerful.

As a given name, Kader is most visible in Turkish, North African, and Francophone Muslim contexts, often beside Kadir, Qadir, and Qader. In Islamic usage the semantic field is tied to al-qadar, the doctrine of divine decree, though Kadir may also evoke al-Qādir, one of the divine names. The spelling Kader is uncommon in United States birth statistics, while Turkish use includes both masculine and feminine bearers.
