History & Origin
Abdoulie is the Gambian and Senegalese form of Abdullah, from the Arabic for 'servant of God,' its spelling shaped by French-language West Africa. Carried to the United States by West African immigrant families in recent decades, it entered records as a heritage name, its deeply rooted meaning fully intact.
In the United States it stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2004, with steady scattered use since the nineteen-nineties. A boy named Abdoulie then is a young adult today.
