Meaning & History

This name is a combination of Abu and Bakr. Abu Bakr was the Prophet Muhammad's companion and father-in-law, and he served as the first caliph in the Muslim world. The name Abu Bakr is actually a kunya, or nickname, derived from Abu, with his actual given name being Abd Allah. Shia Muslims generally have a less favorable opinion of Abu Bakr, which means this name is more commonly used among Sunnis.
