Emaduddin

Emaduddin is a male given name of Arabic origin. It derives from the compound Imad al-Din, literally meaning "pillar of the faith" or "support of the religion." The name is formed from Imad (pillar) and din (religion/faith) and is used across Muslim-majority regions as a sign of religious or intellectual aspiration.

Variants and transliterations include Imaduddin, Imad-ud-Din, Emad al-Din, Imamuddin, Emaduddin, and related forms. Spelling varies with language and colonial-era transcription, with common use in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Historically, the name has been borne by various figures in Islamic societies, including scholars, administrators, and religious leaders. In contemporary usage, Emaduddin is a personal given name across diverse communities, and it does not denote a single lineage or occupation. When encountered in texts, the name may appear alongside titles or honorifics, reflecting its cultural and religious resonance rather than a fixed role.
