Abdul Nasser

Abdul Nasser (Arabic: عبد الناصر ) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Nasser. The name means "servant of the Helper", An-Nasser being a Muslim theophoric name.

The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. Because the letter n is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- can be assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to Abd al-Nasser, the pronunciation can correspond to Abd an-Nasser. Alternative transliterations of the last element include Naaser, Nasir and others, with the whole name subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

It may refer to:

  • Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918–1970), President of Egypt
  • Khalid Abdel Nasser (1949–2011), his son
  • Abdul Nasser Bani Hani (died 2013), Jordanian politician
  • Abdul Nacer Benbrika (born ca. 1960), Algerian-Australian Muslim activist
  • Abd Al Nasir Mohammed Abd Al Qadir Khantumani (born 1960), Syrian held in Guantanamo
