Hamdulla

Hamdulla is a male given name used in Muslim communities across Central Asia, South Asia, and the Caucasus. The name combines the Arabic elements hamd, meaning praise, with Allah, meaning God, and is commonly interpreted as “praise of God” or “praise be to God.” Variants of the name include Hamdullah, Hamdullāh, Hamdulloh, Hamdulla, and other transliterations that reflect different languages and scripts.

Usage and form: In many contexts, Hamdulla is used as a standalone given name. In some cultures it may appear as part of compound names or with a family name, such as Hamdulla Khan or Hamdulla Beg, though these examples are illustrative rather than universal. Spelling and pronunciation vary by language, including Persian, Urdu, Uzbek, Tajik, and Turkish influences.

Geographic distribution: The name is found among communities in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and in diaspora populations in Europe and North America. It is one of several theophoric names that reflect gratitude and devotion in Islamic naming traditions.

Notable people: There are individuals with this given name in public records, but no single widely recognized figure is identified by this spelling alone.
