Abdulaziz, of Arabic origin, is derived from two elements: 'Abd', meaning 'slave' or 'servant', and 'Aziz', which translates to 'powerful' or 'mighty'. Thus, the name Abdulaziz means 'the servant of the Mighty One', typically referring to God in Islamic tradition. This name has been popular among Muslims worldwide for centuries due to its religious significance. It is often associated with royalty, as several historic rulers have borne this name, including Abdulaziz ibn Saudi, the second ruler of Saudi Arabia. However, it remains a common choice for both boys and girls, regardless of social or cultural backgrounds.
The name Abdulaziz experienced a significant increase in popularity between the late 1990s and early 2010s, with a notable spike in births occurring annually from 1994 onwards. However, in recent years, there has been a decline in its usage as a baby name, with fewer than 60 births per year recorded since 2018. Overall, Abdulaziz has been the subject of 1627 birth registrations between 1978 and 2023.
