Etymology
Haqq originates from the Arabic word for truth or reality. It is commonly used as a suffix of a personal name. Al-Haqq (The Ultimate Reality) is one of the Names of God in Islam, and used in the second half of a compound name, commonly succeeding Abd or Abdul to make Abdul Haq. This specific compound name, means "servant of the Truth", and gives rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2]
