Abdulaziz

Meaning of Abdulaziz

Abdulaziz is an Arabic compound name meaning “servant of the Almighty,” formed from ʿabd, “servant,” and al-ʿAzīz, one of the 99 names of God in Islam; it is pronounced ab-doo-lah-ZEES (/æbˈduːləziːz/). Historically, the name conjures images of authority, most notably King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, founder of modern Saudi Arabia, and several Ottoman sultans who bore the same regal title. In the United States it has never vied for the spotlight, yet its quiet consistency—hovering in the 700-to-900 range since the late 1970s—suggests a devoted following that prefers substance to fashion. Admirers appreciate its built-in reverence, rhythmic cadence, and the straightforward nickname “Aziz,” which travels smoothly across languages. For parents seeking a name that nods to faith, projects dignity, and remains uncommon without being unfamiliar, Abdulaziz offers a dignified middle path—neither trendy nor archaic, simply steadfast, much like the quality its second element celebrates.
