Abdulla: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1996.

The name Abdulla, a common variant of Abdullah, traces its roots to the Arabic *‘abd* (servant) and *Allah* (God), together meaning “servant of God.” It has been borne by several notable figures, including King Abdullah II of Jordan, a modern constitutional monarch known for his efforts toward regional stability, and King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, who reigned from 2005 to 2015. While no major places share the exact spelling, the name’s root appears in countless locations across the Islamic world. A notable variant is the fuller Abdullah, which is more widespread
