Origin
Meaning and history of Abdulloh
The name Abdulloh originated from the Arabic language and culture. It is a combination of two words: 'Abd' meaning 'servant' and 'Allah' meaning 'God'. Thus, Abdulloh translates to 'servant of God' or 'servant of the deity'. This name has its roots in the Islamic tradition and was commonly used in the Arabian Peninsula and regions influenced by Arab culture.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Abdulloh can be traced back to the 7th century CE, during the early days of Islam. It is believed that some of the companions of Prophet Muhammad bore this name. The Qur'an, the central religious text of Islam, also mentions the word 'Abd' in reference to being a servant of God.
One of the earliest notable individuals with the name Abdulloh was Abdulloh ibn Abbas, a cousin of Prophet Muhammad and a renowned scholar of Islamic teachings. He lived from 619 CE to 687 CE and played a crucial role in the interpretation and compilation of the Qur'an.
In the 8th century CE, during the Abbasid Caliphate, the name Abdulloh gained further prominence. Abdulloh ibn al-Mu'tazz, a renowned poet and calligrapher, lived from 861 CE to 908 CE and was known for his contributions to Arabic literature and art.
Moving forward in time, Abdulloh Khan, a ruler of the Uzbek Khanate, lived from 1533 CE to 1598 CE and was known for his military campaigns and territorial expansions in Central Asia.
Another notable figure with the name Abdulloh was Abdulloh Qutb Shah, the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in the Deccan region of India. He lived from 1512 CE to 1672 CE and was responsible for establishing the city of Hyderabad, which became the capital of his kingdom.
In the 19th century, Abdulloh ibn Faisal, a member of the Saudi royal family, lived from 1822 CE to 1889 CE and played a significant role in the consolidation of power and the establishment of the modern-day Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

FAQ
Abdulloh: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Abdulloh?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 244 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Abdulloh 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 1,404,731 US residents.
Is Abdulloh a common name?
We classify Abdulloh as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 246 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Abdulloh most popular?
The single biggest year for Abdulloh was 2023, when 39 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Abdulloh is about 6 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 Abdulloh in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Abdulloh a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Abdulloh 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 Abdulloh still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Abdulloh 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 Abdulloh 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.
