Meaning & origin
Abdulsalam entered U.S. naming records in 2004, reflecting the diversity of the American Muslim community. With a rank of 9,714 in 2025 and a 1-in-244,011 incidence, it remains an uncommon but recognizable choice. The name's trajectory has been rising since 2010, with its peak year in 2016, indicating growing but still rare usage. Its absence from top state lists suggests even distribution rather than regional concentration. As a theophoric Arabic name, it carries deep religious significance while fitting into modern naming patterns.
Derived from Arabic 'abd (عبد) meaning 'servant' and al-Salam (السلام) 'the Peace', one of the 99 names of God in Islam. It is a theophoric name common across the Muslim world, often used to express devotion. The name has been in use for centuries, though its appearance in U.S. records is recent.
