Origin
Meaning and history of Abdulazim
The name Abdulazim has its origins in Arabic, originating from the Middle East and Islamic cultures. It is a combination of two words: "Abdul," meaning "servant of," and "Azim," meaning "great" or "mighty." As a result, the name can be interpreted as "servant of the Great One," reflecting Islamic teachings and beliefs.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Abdulazim dates back to the 8th century CE, during the Abbasid Caliphate. It is believed that the name was often given to devout Muslims, as a way to honor and express their devotion to God.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Abdulazim. One such individual was Abdulazim al-Hasani (1428-1539), a renowned Sufi scholar and spiritual leader from present-day Iran. He is celebrated for his contributions to Islamic mysticism and his profound influence on the Naqshbandi Sufi order.
Another prominent figure was Abdulazim al-Muhtadi (1665-1704), a caliph of the Ottoman Empire who ruled from 1691 to 1704. He is remembered for his efforts to reform the empire and his patronage of the arts and sciences.
In the 19th century, Abdulazim al-Zahawi (1863-1936) was a prominent Iraqi poet, writer, and journalist, known for his influential works that helped shape modern Arabic literature and thought.
The name Abdulazim also appears in religious texts, such as the Quran and hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), further solidifying its significance in Islamic tradition.
One notable example is Abdulaziz ibn Uthman ibn Affan (624-685 CE), a respected companion of the Prophet Muhammad and the seventh caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate. He is revered for his leadership and contributions to the spread of Islam during his reign.
While the name Abdulazim has a long and rich history rooted in Islamic culture and tradition, its use has also extended beyond the Middle East to other regions with significant Muslim populations, such as South Asia and parts of Africa.

FAQ
Abdulazim: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Abdulazim?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Abdulazim going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Abdulazim a common name?
We classify Abdulazim as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Abdulazim most popular?
The single biggest year for Abdulazim was 2017, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Abdulazim is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Abdulazim in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Abdulazim a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Abdulazim 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 Abdulazim still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Abdulazim 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 Abdulazim 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.
