title: Abdul Jabbar

text: Abdul Jabbar Abdul Jabbar () is a Muslim male given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words "Abd", "al-" and "Jabbar". The name means "servant of the All-compeller", "Al-Jabbar" being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. The letter "a" of the "al-" is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by "e". So the first part can appear as Abdel, Abdul or Abd-al. The second part may appear as Jabbar, Jabar or in other ways. The whole name is subject
