Origin
Meaning and history of Abdikhaliq
The name Abdikhaliq originated from the Arabic language and Islamic culture. It is a combination of two words, "Abd" meaning servant or slave, and "Khaliq" meaning creator or maker. The name essentially translates to "servant of the Creator" or "servant of God."
The name's roots can be traced back to the 7th century CE, during the time of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the early spread of Islam across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. It was a common practice among early Muslims to adopt names that reflected their religious beliefs and devotion to God.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Abdikhaliq can be found in the writings of medieval Islamic scholars and theologians. It was often used as an honorific title or a descriptive name for individuals who dedicated their lives to the study and service of God.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Abdikhaliq. One of the most prominent was Abdikhaliq al-Ghudjduwani (1021-1089 CE), a renowned Sufi scholar and mystic from present-day Uzbekistan. He was a significant figure in the development of Sufism and the spiritual teachings of Islam.
Another notable figure was Abdikhaliq al-Jaziri (1360-1412 CE), a Syrian scholar and jurist who made significant contributions to the field of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). His works, such as the "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah," were widely studied and referenced in the Islamic world.
In the 15th century, Abdikhaliq al-Gharnati (1420-1490 CE) was a prominent Andalusian scholar and traveler from Granada, Spain. He authored several works on Islamic theology, philosophy, and astronomy, and his writings provided valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural exchange between the Islamic world and Europe during that time.
Another notable figure was Abdikhaliq al-Siddiq (1892-1962 CE), an Indian Muslim scholar and reformist who played a significant role in the Indian independence movement. He advocated for the revival of Islamic teachings and the promotion of education among Muslims.

FAQ
Abdikhaliq: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Abdikhaliq?

We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Abdikhaliq going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Abdikhaliq in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Abdikhaliq in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Abdikhaliq still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Abdikhaliq in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Abdikhaliq can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
