Meaning and origin of Wadood
Wadood is drawn from al-Wadud, one of the divine names, which means the One who is most loving. Its root, w-d-d, is the ordinary Arabic word for love and affection. Because the bare form belongs to God, families usually name a boy Abdul Wadood, servant of the Most Loving, and Wadood on its own tends to be a short way of saying that fuller name. It is heard most in South Asia.
