Meaning and origin of Abdul-Khafid
Abdul-Khafid is formed from al-Khāfiḍ, meaning the One who brings low, a divine name included in the well-known list of ninety-nine handed down by al-Tirmidhi. It is usually read alongside its partner al-Rāfiʿ, the One who raises, rather than on its own. Together the pair express the idea that God brings the proud low and lifts up the humble. Because its meaning is easily misunderstood in isolation, it is very seldom given to a child.
