Abdul Ghani

Abdul Ghani () or Abdulghani or Abdelghani or similar variants is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''Abd'', ''al-'' and ''Ghani''. The name means "servant of the All-sufficient", ''Al-Ghaniyy'' 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 ''u''. The last element may appear as ''Gani'', ''Ghany'' or in other ways, with the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

There is also the West African variant Abdul Ganiyu.
