My Name

My name is Abdul. Who was I named after? What language does it come from? Do I like my name?  Is my name common around here? No it is not, at least not here. Abdul is a very common name in Arab countries in the Middle East. To show how common my name is, I would say it is like once in a blue moon that you will hear it here.I like to believe that my name is unique I haven't met many other people that have Abdul as their first name. Do I like it? I like my name because it is actually not very common. I hardly have ever had someone in the same class, or school with the same first name. What language does it come from? Abdul comes from the Arabic language. Who was I named after? I was named after my uncle. Is my name common around here? No it is not, at least not here. Abdul is a very common name in Arab countries in the Middle East. To show how common my name is, I would say it is like once in a blue moon that you will hear it here. What does Abdul really even mean? In the English language, Abdul translates to servant. However, the name does not have any specific history in my family. It was my great grand father's, then my uncle's, and now mines. In conclusion, I appreciate my name and am glad it is mine.

    I thought it was cool how you asked yourself questions throughout your paragraph about your name and then answered them for us so we knew a little bit about it. All together it was written very nice .

    Abdul, how do you feel to know that your name has been passed down from generation to generation?

    I have personally met a few people named Abdul before. I also liked the fact that you talked about a bit of your family history, and how you got your name.
