Abdullaeva
Feminine
Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek
Meaning & Origin
Abdullaeva is a feminine patronymic surname commonly found in Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries, serving as a feminine form of Abdullaev or an alternate transcription of Uzbek Абдуллаева (see Abdullayeva). The name is derived from the masculine given name Abdulla, meaning "servant of God". The suffix "-eva" indicates a feminine patronymic, effectively rendering the surname's meaning as "daughter of Abdulla".
Etymology and History
The surname Abdullaeva originated as a Russian-language patronymic in territories influenced by Russian naming conventions, particularly across the Caucasus and Central Asia. It is a feminine counterpart to Abdullayev, both of which derive from the Arabic name Abdullah (Arabic: عبد الله, ʿAbd Allāh - "servant of God"). The Russian suffix "-ev" or "-yev" indicates "son of", while "-eva" adjusts this for women. In Uzbekistan's Cyrillic script, the name is written Абдуллаева, preserving the basic Western transliteration.
The name is associated with the dissolution of the Soviet Union when many Muslim-majority groups chose to revive but modify their names within active record structures. Today it is common among a specific spread of Eastern Iranian, Turkic and East Caucasian populations.
