Origin
Meaning and history of Abdoulaziz
The name Abdoulaziz has its origins in the Arabic language and culture, dating back to the 7th century AD. It is a compound name derived from the Arabic words "Abd," meaning "servant," and "Al-Aziz," which is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islamic tradition, meaning "the Almighty" or "the Ever-Dominant."
This name has a strong religious connotation in Islamic culture, as it signifies the bearer's devotion to Allah as a servant of the Almighty. It first appeared in various Arabic and Islamic historical texts, including the Quran and Hadith (the recorded sayings and traditions of Prophet Muhammad), as well as in early Islamic literature and poetry.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Abdoulaziz was Abdoulaziz ibn Marwan, who lived from 668 to 705 AD. He was an Umayyad caliph and ruler of the Islamic empire from 685 to 705 AD, and his reign was marked by significant territorial expansions and military conquests.
Another notable figure bearing the name was Abdoulaziz Al-Bukhari, a renowned Islamic scholar and hadith collector who lived from 810 to 870 AD. He is best known for his monumental work, "Sahih Al-Bukhari," which is considered one of the most authentic collections of hadith in Sunni Islam.
In the 12th century, Abdoulaziz Al-Andalusi was a renowned Andalusian philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who made significant contributions to the fields of science and philosophy during the Islamic Golden Age in Spain.
During the 18th century, Abdoulaziz Al-Fishtali was a prominent Moroccan scholar and Sufi mystic who played a crucial role in the spread of Islam and the preservation of Islamic traditions in North Africa.
In more recent times, Abdoulaziz Al-Saud, who lived from 1876 to 1953, was the founder and first monarch of modern Saudi Arabia. He played a pivotal role in unifying the Arabian Peninsula and establishing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals who bore the name Abdoulaziz throughout history, reflecting its deep-rooted significance and widespread use in the Islamic world and Arabic-speaking regions.

How many people in the U.S. are named Abdoulaziz?

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 Abdoulaziz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Abdoulaziz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Abdoulaziz 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 Abdoulaziz 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.
