Abdul Wahhab

Abdul Wahhab (Arabic: عبد الوهاب, romanized: ʻAbd al-Wahhāb) is a masculine given name and surname of Arabic origin. It is built from the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Wahhāb, one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2] It means "servant of the all-giver". The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. The last element may appear as Wahab, Wahhab, Vehhab, Ouahab, and others with the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation. Notable people with the name include:
