About the name Abdul

Abdul is the Malaysian spelling of the Arabic element ʿabd al-, from ʿabd ('servant') plus the definite article. It almost always precedes a divine name or attribute, as in Abdul Rahman or Abdul Aziz, and rarely stands alone. In registered names it is often the first word, and is sometimes shortened to Abd.
