Islamic Boy Names
Islamic male names are drawn primarily from Arabic, with additional influence from Persian, Turkish, and Urdu. A distinctive male pattern is the theophoric compound Abd al- plus one of the Divine Names, realized in writing as Abdul-, Abdur-, or Abdus, with phonetic connectors like -ul, -ur, and -ud (for example, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Rashid). Other masculine compounds include -ullah and elements such as -ud-Din or -ul-Haq. This Abd al- construction is specific to male names.
Modern usage varies by region and script, producing spelling and spacing differences (Abdul Razzaq/Abdul Razaq/Abdur Razak). Common male examples include Abdul Hadi, Abdul Rauf, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Rashid, Abdus Samee, Asadullah, Abubakar, Arafat, Ahnaf, and Azan.
