Abdulahi

Abdulahi is a common given name, particularly in communities with Arabic, Somali, and Muslim cultural influences. It is a variant spelling of Abdullah, which translates to "Servant of God" or "Slave of God" in Arabic. The name is formed by combining the Arabic words "Abd" (servant or slave) and "Allah" (God). As such, it is a theophoric name, expressing devotion to God. Abdulahi, like Abdullah, is frequently found as a surname as well, indicating ancestral lineage or connection to someone named Abdullah. The name's widespread use stems from its significant religious meaning and positive connotations within Islamic traditions. Spelling variations exist due to transliteration differences between Arabic and other languages.
