‘Abdullāh (عبد الله "servant of God", also spelled Abdullah, Abdulah, Abd Allah, Abdallah, Abdellah, Abdulla and Abdalla) is a common Arabic name. Humility before God is an essential value of Islam, hence Abdullah is a favorite name among Muslims. The feminine equivalent is أمة الله Amat Allāh (also spelled Amatullah). The name is cognate to and has the same meaning as Hebrew language Abdiel.

The name was also used historically to call anyone whose name is not known.
