Abdel Nour (Arabic: عبد النور ) is a male Muslim given name and, in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Nur. The name means "servant of the Light", An-Nūr being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2]
The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by e. Because the letter n is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to Abd al-Nur, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd an-Noor. Alternative transliterations include Abdennour and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
