Stop using the word Abdi.

Nothing offends me more than this word. Especially when ajnabis say it boils my blood. We need to seriously ban it, if u have this name please consider a name change.
 
Abdul aswell. I hate the shortening of this name. If you're called Abdirahman or Abdulwahhab then just use the full version. Imagine people went around introducing as slave in English.

Because some Somalis (not all) believes naming their kids Arab names would automatically take them to heaven.

Abdi is an acronym for names like abdullahi, abdulkarim, abdulrahman etc. no one actually names their kid abdi

They used to in the past. For example Muuse Biixi’s full name is Muuse Biixi Cabdi which means that his awoowe was actually named Cabdi

@Shimbiris explain to me why Abdi is so popular in the Somali community?

You’ve corrected me before stating to me that Abdi is no away a slave name.

But if you look at the dictionary it is.

I remember you said is a short name for Abdullahi?

You’ve grown in the Arab community: so you’re the right candidate to correct me again on why we should still be using that name.

Yeah they are keyboard warriors scared to say it in real life, another reason why I hate ajnabis.

Abdi is one of them names that was strictly used by Somalis until corny ajnabis got a hold of them

Add them to the many things ajnabis ruined it doesn’t even sound right anymore

Abdi means "My Servant/Slave". It is short for ABDULLAH which means "Servant/Slave of Allah". The one saying "My" in Abdi is assumed to be Allah, obviously. So yes, it is a religious name. Arabs have a similar name; Abdo which means "His Servant/Slave" with the same sort of connotation (His = Allah). Somalis didn't speak Arabic traditionally except for wadaads, merchants and some elites and it just caught on as a nickname/short of Abdullah. My grandfather had the name and people sometimes switched to just calling him Abdullah as that is assumed to be his "real" name even though on paper it was still "Abdi".

I like the name Abdi. I had a friend who is Somali. His name was Abdi.

Abdi is short name for Abdullah. Servant of Allah

Abdi connected with one of the 99 names of Allah is great, but I hate that somalis shorten it to just Abdi. this is my time to say bring back traditional Somali names :fittytousand:
Warsame, Hanad, Rooble, Ayaanle, Raage Abshir, Xirsi, etc, are all beautiful names for a boy
