Hamidun

Hamidun is a masculine given name used in various Muslim-majority regions. The name derives from the Arabic root Ḥ-M-D, most directly associated with the term Hamid, meaning “praiseworthy” or “the praiseworthy one.” As a given name, Hamidun appears in different linguistic and cultural contexts and can be transliterated in several ways depending on language and script.

Etymology and transliteration choices lead to a range of spellings, including Hamidun in Latin script. The form reflects adaptations of Arabic names into Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Malay, Indonesian, and other languages, where phonetic and orthographic conventions vary. This results in regional variants while preserving the core meaning linked to praise and commendation.

Usage and distribution are broad within Muslim communities. Hamidun has been encountered in parts of the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, including Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Central Asia. It may appear as a standalone given name or as part of longer compound names built from Arabic elements; in some cases it may function within patronymic or familial naming patterns.

Notable individuals with Hamidun as a standalone name are not widely documented in major encyclopedic references. The name more commonly appears as part of longer names or as a component within patronymic traditions. Related given names include Hamid and Hamidullah, which share the same Arabic root and meaning. Further details often depend on regional usage and transliteration practices.
