Abdul Malik (transliteration: ʿAbdul Malik, Arabic: عبد الملك) is an Arabic name for boys that means “servant of the King”, meaning “servant of God” since al-Malik 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-Malik. Due to the way the Arabic language works, when pronouncing the name ʿabd al-Malik becomes ʿabdul Malik.
Abdul Malik should not be confused with Abdul Maalik.
Abdul Malik is also spelled as Abdul Malek, Abd al-Malik, Abdel Malik and Abd el-Malik.
