Abdel Nour (other)
ʻAbd al-Nūr (ALA-LC romanization of ar, عبد النور) is a male given name and, in modern usage, surname. The name is used by Muslims and also by Coptic and Orthodox Christians in the Middle East. It is built from the Arabic words '' ʻabd'' and ''al-Nūr'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the Light". Because the letter ''n'' is a sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Nur'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd an-Noor''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdennour'' and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

Streck, Janet C. E.Watson; Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin/Boston, 2011. Having emerged in the 1st century, it is named after the Arab people; the term "Arab" was initially used to describe those living in the Arabian Peninsula, as perceived by geographers from ancient Greece.
