Meaning and origin of Kabeer
Greatness is the idea behind Kabeer, from the Arabic kabīr and the root k-b-r. Since al-Kabīr, the Great, is one of Allah's names, scholars generally favour the compound ʿAbd al-Kabīr, meaning a servant of the Great One. In South Asia, though, Kabir by itself is used very widely. The 15th-century Indian poet-saint Kabir also made the name familiar to Hindus and Sikhs, so it crosses several communities.
