When it comes to choosing a baby name, you want one that embodies all the values your child might hold. Slave can mean someone who’s willing to apply themselves wholeheartedly to a task. They might devote themselves to an ideal or religion that they follow throughout their life with a passion that’s unmatched by others.
Their submission means that they’ll try to put others before themselves, wanting to meet the needs of those around them. This can lead to kindness, dedication, and selflessness in their future. Slave also doesn’t have to be taken literally and can show that they’re driven to follow their desires or passions through their life.
Many names meaning slave come from the Islamic language, though there are choices from most cultures. For example, Aatazaz means “slave of the mighty,” or someone who will help the powerful achieve their goals. Abadun means “slave to God,” or someone who always holds their religion as a guiding light.
Names that have “Abdul” at the front also mean slave, and depending on the latter part of the name, this can change the meaning. For example, Abdul Hafeez means “slave of the protector,” a name for future leaders of the generation. There’s also Abdul Adl which means “slave of the just,” or someone who holds the truth in high respects.
Of course, the name doesn’t have to come specifically from Muslim culture. Others, such as Indian culture, also have their own version of these names. Prabhdas also means “slave of God.”
Either way, you’ll easily find a name to show your child’s wholehearted devotion to others.
