Wahhab

Wahhab is a male given name derived from the Arabic root W-H-B, meaning 'to give' or 'to bestow'. It is most famously known as Al-Wahhab (الوهاب), one of the 99 Names of Allah (Asma al-Husna) in Islam, signifying 'The Bestower' or 'The Giver of All'. As such, it carries deep religious significance within Islamic cultures.

The name is often used in combination with 'Abd' (meaning 'servant of'), forming 'Abd al-Wahhab' (عبد الوهاب), which means 'servant of The Bestower'. This form is very common as it reflects humility and devotion to God. When used as a standalone name 'Wahhab', it still carries the same divine connotation, implying a connection to the divine attribute of generosity and giving.
