Atiqullah
Atiqullah is a male given name common in Muslim cultures, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East. The name is of Arabic origin and combines two elements:
- 'Atiq (عتیق), which means "noble," "ancient," "free," "generous," or "old." In Islamic contexts, 'Atiq can also refer to being freed from hellfire.
- Allah (الله), the Arabic word for God.
Therefore, Atiqullah can be interpreted as "noble of God," "freed by God," "generous of God," or "ancient of God." The precise interpretation depends on the nuance of the chosen meaning for 'Atiq.
The name is often bestowed with the hope that the bearer will embody the qualities associated with its meaning, such as nobility, generosity, and a strong connection to God. Variations in spelling may occur due to transliteration differences.
