History & Origin
Abdikadir is the Somali rendering of the Arabic Abd al-Qadir. It pairs abd, 'servant,' with al-Qadir, 'the Capable' or 'the All-Powerful,' one of the ninety-nine beautiful names of God, so the whole name means 'servant of the All-Powerful.' Names in the Abdi- form are widely borne in Somali families and carried to the United States with Somali immigration.
Abdikadir has always been rare in the United States, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak around 2008, its appearance tracking the growth of Somali-American communities. A boy named Abdikadir then is a young adult today.
