ʻAbd al-Sattār (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic: عبد الستّار) is an Arabic Muslim male given name, built on the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Sattār.
The name means "servant of the Veiler (of sins)".
[1][2][dubious – discuss] Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is usually assimilated to it.
Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Sattar, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd as-Sattar.
Alternative transliterations include Abdus Sattar, Abdul Sattar, Abdel Sattar and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
