Akdar (transliteration: Akdar, Arabic: أكدر) (not to be confused with Akhdar or Akbar) is an Arabic name for boys that means “dark”, “muddy or cloudy” (used in description of water), “not bright”, “not shiny”, “suffering from upset”.123 Akdar is also spelled Akder.
There is one Companion of the Prophet Muhammad 
named Akdar:
- al-Akdar bin Humam الأكدر بن حمام
Below is the name Akdar written in Arabic naskh script:
Below is the name Akdar written in Arabic kufi script:
I was searching the word Akdar that is printed on a Shriners headgear. After seeing the different meanings I’m lost as to how the word /name relates to Shiners. Can anyone fill me in on that.
That word on Shriner headgear would likely be the name of the temple that has the allegiance of the person wearing said headgear. There’s an Akdar Shrine in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Also note that Arabic words are often Latinized in highly idiosyncratic ways, so the “akdar” in a temple’s name may actually be Arabic Akdar, Akhdar, or Aqdar, among others.
