Abd al-Salam ( ar, عبد السلام) is a male Muslim honorific or given name, built on 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 '' Salam''. The name means "servant of the All-peaceable", ''as-Salam'' being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Salam'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd as-Salam''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdul Salam'', ''Abdul Salaam'', ''Abdus Salam'' and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation. Notable people with the name include:
