Hamdoun

Hamdoun is a surname and less commonly a given name used by people of Arabic origin. The name is typically rendered in Latin script as Hamdoun, though variants such as Hamdon, Hamdun, and Hamdon may occur in different regions or transliteration systems. It is derived from the Arabic root H-M-D, which conveys praise or commendation, and is related to a family of names formed from this root, including the widely used given name Hamid and the noun hamd meaning 'praise.' In modern usage, Hamdoun appears among communities across the Arab world and in diaspora populations in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It is encountered in countries with Arabic-speaking populations, including North Africa and the Horn of Africa.

There is no single, canonical meaning beyond its linguistic origin, and the name is used without implying any religious or ethnic affiliation. In biographical contexts, individuals named Hamdoun may be professionals, athletes, or public figures, reflecting the name's broad distribution.
