AlHady

AlHady is a romanized form of an Arabic term that is often written as Al-Hadi or Al-Hady. It derives from the definite article al- and the Arabic root h-d-y, which relates to guidance or leading. In names and religious vocabulary, this element appears in various transliterations, including Hady, Alhadi, and Al-Hady.

In Islamic theology, al-Hadi is one of the 99 Names of Allah, commonly translated as "The Guide." The name signifies God’s role in guiding humanity to the right path and is used in Qur’anic verses and supplications. As an attribute of the divine, it is distinct from human usage but influences the adoption of the name in Muslim communities.

As a personal name or surname, Al-Hadi and its variants are used in Arabic-speaking regions and among Muslim communities worldwide. The form may appear as Alhadi, Al-Hady, or without the definite article in different transliteration systems. It can stand alone as a given name or be part of compound names such as Abdul Hadi or Abdul-Hadi, meaning "servant of the Guide," reflecting the theistic naming tradition.

The term should not be confused with similar words such as Hadi (a given name meaning guide), Abdul Hadi (a theophoric name), or Al-Huda (guidance). Etymologically, the root conveys direction, guidance, and leadership, whether in divine attributes or human naming practices.
