Arabic origin Abdi

While Arabic speakers commonly use Abdu (عبده / عبدو ʿabdu) rather than Abdi, both are nicknames for Abdul. It originates from the Arabic word عبد ال ʿabd al- / ʿabd el- / ʿabd ul-. The name translates as "servant"[1] or "slave" in reference to religious submission to Allah (God). As such, it is often used by Muslims around the world in conjunction with one of the names of God in Islam, but also sometimes on its own.[1]

Biblical Abdi

Abdi is also the name of three men in the Hebrew Bible
