Means "father of" in Arabic. This is commonly used as an element in a kunya, which is a type of Arabic nickname. The element is combined with the name of one of the bearer's children (usually the eldest son). In some cases the kunya is figurative, not referring to an actual child, as in the case of the Muslim caliph Abu Bakr. Abu is an Arabic name and can mean either "father" or "master". Although it is used as a name by itself, sometimes it is used as a “kunya” where the bearer takes on the name of his firstborn along with his. So if a person"s first born son is named Hakim, the bearer can become “Abu Hakim” meaning “the father of Hakim”.
