Abdul Halim
Encyclopedia
Abdul Halim is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd
, al-
and Halim
. The name means "servant of the all-clement", Al-Halīm being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.
The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. So the first part can appear as Abdel, Abdul or Abd-al. The second part can be transliterated Halim, Haleem or Haliem, and the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
