Origin
Meaning and history of Abdulmannan
The name Abdulmannan has its origins in the Arabic language and culture. It is a compound name formed by combining the words "Abdul" and "Mannan." The word "Abdul" is derived from the Arabic word "Abd," which means "servant" or "slave," and is often used as a prefix in Arabic names to indicate servitude or devotion to God. The word "Mannan" is one of the 99 names or attributes of God in Islamic tradition, and it means "The Bestower of Bounties" or "The Giver of All Good Things."
The name Abdulmannan first appeared in historical records during the early days of Islam, around the 7th century CE. It was commonly given to Muslim children as a way to express gratitude to God and to instill a sense of humility and devotion from an early age. The name is also found in various Islamic texts and scriptures, such as the Quran and Hadith, where it is used to refer to God's benevolence and generosity.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Abdulmannan can be found in the life of a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Abdulmannan ibn Auf al-Zuhri. He was a prominent Muslim scholar and jurist who lived in the 7th and 8th centuries CE and played a significant role in the development of Islamic jurisprudence.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Abdulmannan. One such figure was Abdulmannan Sami (1828-1904), a prominent Ottoman statesman and historian who served as the Minister of Education and Grand Vizier during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II.
Another influential figure with this name was Abdulmannan ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (1147-1223 CE), a renowned Islamic scholar and jurist who played a crucial role in the development of the Hanbali school of Islamic jurisprudence. His works, such as "Al-Mughni" and "Al-Kafi," are still widely studied and revered in the Islamic world.
In the field of literature, Abdulmannan ibn Abi Bakr al-Arzanjani (1220-1298 CE) was a celebrated Arab poet and writer who authored several works, including the famous treatise on Arabic rhetoric, "Al-Mizan al-Badi'."
Another notable figure with this name was Abdulmannan ibn Muhammad al-Qaysi (1246-1327 CE), a renowned Sufi scholar and mystic from Persia. He was known for his deep spiritual insights and his influential writings on Sufism, such as "Sharh al-Fusus al-Hikam."
Lastly, Abdulmannan ibn Ismail al-Bukhari (810-870 CE) was a prominent Islamic scholar and compiler of hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). His collection, known as "Sahih al-Bukhari," is considered one of the most authentic and authoritative hadith compilations in Islam.

FAQ
Abdulmannan: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Abdulmannan?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Abdulmannan 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 Abdulmannan a common name?
We classify Abdulmannan 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 Abdulmannan most popular?
The single biggest year for Abdulmannan was 2018, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Abdulmannan is about 8 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 Abdulmannan in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Abdulmannan a male name?

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