Name meaning and origin
Abdulqafur is formed from the combination of the word əbd (servant) with Al-Ghafur, a name of God. Ghafur means the One who broadly covers and forgives the sins of His servants, so the name Abdulqafur conveys to its bearer the meaning of a servant who takes refuge in his Lord's forgiveness and hopes for His mercy.
In Azerbaijan this name also appears in documents from the period before collectivization: for example, writings on the history of the village of Aydınqışlaq mention Abdulqafur Məcidov, a shopkeeper who lived in the early 20th century. Although it is rarely used today, because its meaning is clear it is among the names that can be chosen by religious families.
