Meaning & origin
Abdulhamid is a traditional Arabic theophoric name, deeply rooted in Islamic faith as a combination of 'abd' (servant) and al-Hamid (the Praiseworthy), one of God's 99 names. In the United States, the name first appeared on record in 2001 and has been gradually rising in use since 2005. As of 2025, it ranks 6,803 nationally, with an estimated 1 in 142,340 newborn boys receiving the name. Its peak year so far is 2025, indicating continued growth. Despite its long history in the Muslim world, the name remains rare in the U.S., with no top states reported, reflecting its niche but steady presence among families seeking a name with strong religious and cultural resonance.
Derived from Arabic 'Abd al-Hamid, meaning 'servant of al-Hamid (the Praiseworthy)'. It is a theophoric name combining 'abd' (servant) with one of the 99 names of God in Islam. Historically used across the Muslim world, it was borne by Ottoman sultans, including Abdul Hamid II (reigned 1876-1909).
