Quadir
Quadir Origin and Meaning
Quadir is a masculine name with possible roots in Arabic naming traditions, likely derived from 'Qadir' or 'Abdul Qadir.' In Arabic, 'qadir' (قادر) means 'capable' or 'powerful,' and is one of the 99 attributes of Allah in Islamic tradition, Al-Qadir (The Able, The Capable). The spelling variation with 'Qu-' rather than 'K-' or 'Q-' likely reflects phonetic adaptation or transliteration preferences in different languages and regions. The name has been documented in various Muslim communities worldwide and gained some recognition in the United States particularly from the late 20th century onward. Quadir represents the rich tradition of meaningful names with spiritual significance while maintaining a distinctive sound and identity in contemporary naming practices.
