Taquiuddin

Taquiuddin is a male given name of Arabic origin used in Muslim communities. The spelling varies, with common variants including Taqiuddin, Taqi-ud-Din, and Taquiuddin, reflecting transliteration from Arabic and regional languages such as Urdu.

Etymology and meaning: The name is formed from taqi, meaning pious or righteous, and ud-Din (or din), meaning the faith or religion. Together, they convey the meaning “pious of the faith” or “piety of the religion.” This construction is part of a broader class of Islamic names that combine a virtue with din to denote religious devotion.

Usage and distribution: Taquiuddin is found in South Asia among Urdu-speaking communities in India and Pakistan, as well as among Bengali and other Muslim communities in the region. It is predominantly used as a given name, though in some cases it may appear as part of a longer compound name. The exact usage and spelling can vary by country, language, and family tradition.

Variants and transliteration: Spelling varies due to transliteration practices from Arabic and local scripts. Common forms include Taquiuddin, Taqiuddin, and Taqi-ud-Din, among others, with hyphenation and spacing differing by region.
