ʻAbd al-Aḥad (
ALA-LC romanization of
Arabic: عبد الأحد) is an Arabic male given name. It is built from the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Aḥad, one of the names of God in Islam. It is listed
in the Qur'an, which give rise to the
Muslim theophoric names.[1][2] It means "servant of the only One". Abd al-Ahad is also common among Arabic-speaking Christians, particularly Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholics -- several of whose clergymen, including the late patriarch Ignatius Peter VIII Abdul-Ahad, have borne the name.
