Abdi

[somebody]

Does Abdi really mean my slave? because it is really embarrassing when you live in an arabic country and you have that name.(even though i love it)

 

[Inactive]

Yes.

 

[Khathead]

Are some names more common in some clans more than others? I'm Warsangeli and I'm pretty sure I have never met any other with that Abdi name. Yet many Somalis from other clans at my uni got that name

 

[Canuck]

Warsangeli are great I had relatives grandmother

Abdi is a Somali version of the arabic name abdu

Abid is the name your looking for abdi doesn't exist in the arabic language they use instead abdu
Also any name that has abdi/abdu infront always has god meaning behind

 

[King-of-GODEEY]

Abdi is Somali accent/version for Abdu.

 

[Zak Jingo]

Abd(i) means slave, but the reason why so many Somali men have this name is because it was shortened from Abdirahman, Abdullahi, Abdikarim, Abdilatif, etc

Abdi does exist in Arabic . For example your slave means abduk , my slave means abdi. Once I told my name to an Arabic guy and he was like what the hell. I felt embarrassed man. The only problem is when they want to call you. They call me my slave. Some of them feel awkward . I feel bad yar
