Abdirisaq is of Arabic origin, meaning 'servant of the merciful'. It is a unisex name, though more commonly used for males. The name consists of two parts: Abd, which means 'servant', and Risaq, derived from Ar-Rahman, one of Allah's most beautiful names, translating to 'merciful'. Thus, Abdirisaq literally translates to 'servant of the merciful'. In some variations, it may also translate to 'helper' or 'aide'. The name is particularly popular in countries with significant Muslim populations, such as those in North Africa and the Middle East. It has been known to be used by notable figures like Abdirisaq Husseini, a Somali politician and former Prime Minister of Somalia.
