Abdessamad (عبد الصمد) is composed of two Arabic words: ʿabd, servant, wholly at the disposal of another, and the divine Name الصمد, the Eternal Refuge. The full name therefore declares its bearer the servant of the Eternal Refuge.
"Allāhu ṣ-ṣamad", surat al-Ikhlas (112:2). The Prophet ﷺ said, in a hadith reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Mājah: "The most beloved of names to Allah are ʿAbdullāh and ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān", and the classical scholars extended that love to every name of the form ʿAbd-X where X is one of the asmāʾ al-ḥusnā. The romanizations vary: Abdessamad is the Maghrebi (North African) form, while Abdul Samad predominates in the Arab East and South Asia. The same root letters and the same theological meaning sit beneath every spelling.
