What is the meaning of the name Rukunuddin ?

The baby name Rukunuddin is a Male name and is pronounced roo-KOON-ud-DEEN (approx. /rukun uddiːn/).

Rukunuddin is Arabic in Origin.

Rukunuddin is an Arabic-derived masculine compound from Rukn (ركن, “pillar, cornerstone”) + al-Dīn (الدين, “the faith/religion”), yielding the honorific sense “pillar of the faith” or “support of religion.” In classical Islamic onomastics it functions as a laqab (epithet), praising steadfastness and reliability in service to religion.

Attested from the medieval Islamic world, it appears in the regal and scholarly styles of figures such as Mamluk sultan Baybars (al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Rukn al-Dīn) and various jurists and Sufi shaykhs in Persia and the Levant. Through Persian and Urdu, the form spread to South Asia, where it is now also a given name. Common variants and spellings include Rukn al-Din, Rukn-ud-Din, Rokneddin, Ruknuddeen, Ruknuddin, Rokonuddin/Rokon-ud-Din (Bengali), and abbreviated Uddin as a compound element. Nicknames may be Rukun, Rokn, or Uddin. Related names share the -ud-Din element, e.g., Fakhruddin or Nuruddin.
