Abdus Sabur
Abdus Sabur (Arabic: عبد الصبور ) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words Abd, al- and Sabur. The name means "servant of the Patient One", As-Sabur being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.
Because the Arabic letter corresponding to s is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Sabur, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd as-Sabur. Alternative transliterations include Abdul Saboor and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
