Abdülhafız name meaning
“Servant of God, the Preserver”
Abdülhafız means “servant of God, the Preserver.” It joins Arabic abd, meaning servant, with al-Hafiz, a divine name associated with guarding and preserving everything. In Türkiye, it is a masculine given name. Its preservation element shares a root with Turkish muhafaza, linking the name with keeping something safe.

In Turkish: Her şeyi koruyan Allah'ın kulu
