Abdul Qadir

Abd al-Qadir or Abdulkadir (Arabic: عبد القادر) is a male Muslim given name.

It is formed from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Qadir.

[1][2] The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u.

The second part can be transliterated Qader, Kadir, Qadir, Kader, Gadir or in other ways, and the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

There is a related but much less common name, Abdul Qadeer (Arabic: عبد القدیر), with a similar meaning.
