Abd al-Sabur

ʻAbd al-Ṣabūr (ALA-LC romanization of ) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words ''ʻabd'' and ''al-Ṣabūr'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the Patient One".

Because the Arabic letter corresponding to s is a sun letter, the letter l of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Sabur'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd as-Sabur''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdul Saboor'' and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
