Abdul Qayyum


Abdul Qayyum (Arabic: عبد القيوم ‎‎) is a male Muslim given name. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and . The name means "servant of the eternal", Al-Qayyūm 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 Qayum, Qayoom, Qayyoom, Gayoom, or in other ways, and the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
