Abdul Mannan (Arabic: عبد المنان) is a Muslim male given name and, in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Mannan. The name means "servant of the Benevolent", and is a Muslim theophoric name.[1][2]

The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel. The second part may appear as Mannan, Manan or in other ways. The whole name is subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
