Abadiyeh
Abadiyeh, Abadiyah, Aabadiyeh and other romanisations, preceded or not by the article al- or el-, is an Arabic place-name derived from the word ʿabd, meaning 'slave', 'servant', or 'worshipper'. It is often understood as the shortened form of ʿAbd Allah, meaning "servant of God". The suffix -iya, in all its different transliterations, means "place of...", creating for Abadiyeh the meaning of "place of the slave/servant/worshipper' (of God).
