Akhdar (transliteration: Akhḍar, Arabic: أخضر) is an Arabic name for boys that means “green” (the color).1When describing a young man, it means one whose beard has just started to grow.2
Akhdar should not be confused with Akdar. However, some people spell Akhdar as Akdar. Akhadr is also spelled as Akhder, Akhzar, Akhzer and Akzer.
Akhdar was the name of a house near Tabuk in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stayed during the Tabuk Campaign.3
The word Akhdar is used once in the Quran:
He who produced fuel for you from the green trees, with which you kindle a fire.4
