Meaning & History

Means "capable, powerful, mighty" in Arabic, from the root قدر (qadara) meaning "to have power, to be able". This transcription represents two related yet distinct Arabic names: قادر, in which the first vowel is long, and قدير, in which the second vowel is long. In Islamic tradition القادر (al-Qādir) is one of the 99 names of Allah.
