Boy
Abdulkadir
Abdulkadir is a traditional Arabic boy’s name meaning servant of Allah, the All-Powerful, and remains familiar across generations.
Meaning
Abdulkadir means servant of Allah, the One whose power encompasses all things. Its second element refers to Al-Qadir, one of the names of Allah, rather than simply to a powerful person.
Origin
The name comes from Arabic, combining abd, meaning servant, with Qadir, meaning powerful or mighty. Abdulkadir is a form used in Turkish.
In recent years
Abdulkadir was long among the most chosen names, appearing in earlier top-hundred lists thirty-three times and reaching a highest position of forty-third. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a familiar classic associated with earlier generations.
