Meaning and origin of Jabbar
Al-Jabbār is one of God's Beautiful Names, often translated 'the Compeller', though it also carries the sense of the One who repairs what is broken. Since the full name belongs to God alone, many scholars advise using ʿAbd al-Jabbār, 'servant of the Mighty', for a person. In South Asia, plain Jabbar usually began as a short way of saying that longer name.
