Abd al-Rabb

ʻAbd al-Rabb (ALA-LC romanization of ) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''ʻabd'' and ''al-Rabb''. The name means "servant of the Lord", a Muslim theophoric name.

Because the letter ''r'' is a sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Rab'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ar-Rab''. Alternative transliterations include ''‘Abd ar-Rabb'', ''Abdul Rab'', and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
