Abdulmajid
Abdulmajid ( Arabic عبد المجيد/ ʿAbd al-Madschīd) or Abd al-Madschid is a male Arabic given name.
Origin and meaning
The name is made up of the words " Abd ", " al " and " Majid " and literally means 'servant of the glorious'. "Al-Maǧīd" is one of the 99 names of God in the Koran , so the name actually means "servant of God".
variants
As with all personal names that contain the Arabic word group Abd al ( "servant of" ), the second vowel is not stressed. This means that different variants are in use, primarily Abdelmajid . The Turkish variant of the name is Abdülmecid . By transcribing Arabic into Latin characters in German, Abdul Madschid or Abdel Madschid can also be written, although this is unusual today.
