Abd al-Sattar

ʻAbd al-Sattār (ALA-LC romanization of ) is an Arabic Muslim male given name, built on the Arabic words ''ʻabd'' and ''al-Sattār''. The name means "servant of the Veiler (of sins)".

Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the ''al-'' is usually assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Sattar'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd as-Sattar''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdus Sattar'', ''Abd al-Sattar'' and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
