Facts
This name is a common given name in Muslim cultures, found across a broad geographic area from West Africa to Southeast Asia and throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. Its components derive from Arabic: "Abd" meaning "servant" or "slave of," combined with "al-Rashid," one of the 99 names of God in Islam. "Al-Rashid" translates to "the rightly guided," "the guide to the right path," or "the judicious." As such, the full name signifies "servant of the rightly guided" or "servant of the guide to the right path," expressing devotion and submission to God, while also carrying connotations of wisdom and proper conduct. The widespread use of names formed with "Abd" followed by one of the names of God reflects the core Islamic principle of Tawhid, the oneness of God, and the desire to embody divine attributes in one's life.
