Name meaning and origin

Qadir is based on the word qadr (measure, worth, destiny), which comes from the q-d-r root in Arabic, and means luck, fate, and predestination. This is a different word from the attribute Qadir, which means sublime power capable of Allah; although both come from the same root, they have a different vocalization and a different meaning.

The word root is better known in Azerbaijani through Surah al-Qadr and the phrase Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power), which the Quran calls better than a thousand months. As a personal name, Qadir carries the "fortune" sense of this root and is a simple, widely used Azerbaijani boy's name that wishes the child good fortune.
