According to U.S. Social Security data, the name first appeared in 1998 and reached its peak year of use in 2016, but has been falling in popularity since that peak. It has not ranked within the top 1000 names, reflecting its relative rarity in the United States. The name has no recorded top states and is primarily used within diaspora communities. Its trajectory indicates a decline from the highest usage in the 2010s, though it remains a culturally significant choice for families valuing its religious and heritage connections.
Abdifatah is a Somali and Arabic name meaning 'servant of the conqueror,' derived from the Arabic 'abd' (servant) and 'al-Fattah' (the Opener or Conqueror), one of the 99 names of God in Islam. The name is common among Somali Muslims and has been used in East Africa for generations.
