Mahbubul Hoque is a compound Arabic-derived masculine Muslim name widely used in South Asia, especially Bangladesh and Northeast India. Mahbub (also Mahboob/Mehboob) comes from Arabic mahbub, "beloved." The linker -ul reflects the Persian-Urdu genitive of Arabic al-, "of the." Hoque is a Bengali transliteration of Haqq/Haq, "Truth, Right," one of the divine names. Together the name conveys "beloved of the Truth (God)."

This construction follows classical Islamic onomastics combining a devotional epithet with a theophoric attribute and became especially common in the late 19th-20th centuries with Urdu-Persian styles in education and public service.
