The surname ABDULBAKI has its origins in the Middle East, specifically in the Arabic-speaking regions. It is a compound name derived from the Arabic words "Abdul" meaning "servant" and "Baki" meaning "everlasting" or "eternal." The name therefore carries a religious connotation, suggesting a servant of the Everlasting or God.

The earliest known records of this surname can be traced back to the 7th century AD, during the Islamic Golden Age. It is believed that the name was initially adopted by individuals who embraced Islam and sought to express their devotion to the religion through their chosen surname.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname ABDULBAKI can be found in the writings of the renowned Islamic scholar and philosopher, Al-Ghazali (1058-1111 AD).

In the realm of literature, Abdulbaki Golpinarli (1900-1983) was a Turkish poet, writer, and translator who made significant contributions to the preservation and promotion of Turkish literature and folklore. His translations of classical Persian and Arabic works into Turkish helped to bridge the cultural gap between the East and the West.

The surname ABDULBAKI also has a presence in the Indian subcontinent, particularly among the Muslim communities. One famous bearer of this name was Abdulbaki Bahadur (1775-1857), a Bengali Muslim poet and writer who is known for his works in the Bengali language, such as "Naiyer Munajat" and "Qasidas."
