Abdul Wahhab

Abdul Wahhab () is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. 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. 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.
