Abdul Nasser ( ar, عبد الناصر ) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''
Abd'', ''
al-
( ar, ٱلْـ), also Romanized as ''el-'', ''il-,'' and ''l-'' as pronounced in some varieties of Arabic, is the definite article in the Arabic language: a particle (''ḥarf'') whose function is to render the noun on which it is prefixed def ...
'' and ''Nasser''. The name means "servant of the Helper", ''An-Nasser'' being a
Muslim theophoric name.
The letter ''a'' of the ''al-'' is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by ''u''. The short "u" is taken from the
classical Arabic nominative case ending, whereby the first element of the name is "'Abdu". Because the letter ''n'' is a
sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' can be assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Nasser'', the pronunciation can correspond to ''Abd an-Nasser''. Alternative transliterations of the last element include ''Naaser'', ''Nasir'' and others, with the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
