Origin
Meaning and history of Abdulazeem
The name Abdulazeem finds its origins in the Arabic language and culture, tracing back to the early Islamic period. It is a compound name consisting of two parts: "Abdul" and "Azeem." The first part, "Abdul," is a common Arabic prefix meaning "servant of," while the second part, "Azeem," means "great" or "mighty."
This name is believed to have been derived from the Arabic root word "azm," which signifies greatness, power, and determination. The name Abdulazeem was likely bestowed upon individuals to honor their devotion to God or their strong character and virtues. It carried a sense of reverence and respect for the divine, as well as admiration for one's personal qualities.
In the early Islamic era, the name Abdulazeem can be found mentioned in various historical records and texts, although specific references to notable individuals bearing this name are scarce. One of the earliest recorded examples of this name dates back to the 7th century, when a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, named Abdulazeem ibn Abdullah, was known for his piety and devotion to the faith.

One notable example is Abdulazeem al-Hasani (1055-1119), a renowned Islamic scholar and poet from Persia, who was renowned for his expertise in Arabic literature and grammar. Another individual of significance was Abdulazeem al-Muqaddasi (946-1000), a renowned Arab geographer and travel writer, who authored the influential work "The Best Divisions for Knowledge of the Regions."
In the Mughal era of India, Abdulazeem Khan (1590-1623) was a prominent military commander and noble during the reign of Emperor Jahangir. He played a crucial role in various military campaigns and was known for his bravery and strategic acumen. Another notable figure was Abdulazeem al-Sughayyer (1771-1834), a prominent Islamic scholar and jurist from the Arabian Peninsula, who made significant contributions to the field of Islamic jurisprudence.

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

What does the SSA popularity chart show?

Is Abdulazeem still being used today?

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 Abdulazeem 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.
