Abdul Majid (transliteration: ʿAbdul Majīd, Arabic: عبد المجيد) is an Arabic name for boys that means “servant of the Most Glorious”, “servant of the Most Exalted”, meaning “servant of God” since al-Majīd is one of the names of God in Islam.1 The name is made up of the words ʿabd (“servant”, “slave”)2 and the name of God al-Majīd. Due to the way the Arabic language works, when pronouncing the name ʿabd al-Majīd becomes ʿabdul Majīd.
Abdul Majid may also be spelled as Abdul Majeed, Abdol Majeed, Abd al-Majeed, Abd al-Majid, Abdel Majeed, Abd el-Majid and Abd el-Mejid among others.
There is one Companion of the Prophet Muhammad named Abdul Majid:
- Abdul Majid bin Abdul Aziz عبد المجيد بن عبد العزيز
Sultan Abdul Majid (known as Abdulmejid I in the West) was Ottoman Emperor from 1839 to 1861.
