ʻAbd al-Ḥamīd (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic: عبد الحميد, Persian: عبدالحمید), also spelled as Abdulhamid, Abd-ul Hamid, and Abd ol-Hamid, is a Muslim male given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Ḥamīd, one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which gave rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2] It means "servant of the All-laudable".
It is rendered as Abdolhamid in Persian, and Abdülhamit in Turkish.
But most of all, Abdul Hamid means everything to Rahmah.
