Al-Dīn (Arabic: الدين‎‎ ad-dīn  "the religion"), a component of some Arabic names, meaning "the religion", e.g. Saif al-Din "Sword of the religion".

The Arabic spelling closely transliterated is a l d ī n, but its standard transliteration is ad-dīn due to the phonological rules involving "sun letter", but in practice romanizations of Arabic names containing this element may vary greatly, including:

el Din / eldin / eddin al-Din, ad-Din ud-Din, -uddin (particularly in English-speaking South and East Asia), -uddeen (particularly in English-speaking South and East Asia)
  • -eddine (particularly in French-speaking areas)
  • -ettin (particularly in Turkish names)
  • -od-din (particularly in Persian names)

    • Examples of names including this element are:

    Use of "Uddin" as surname

    In modern times in English-speaking environments the name Uddin has sometimes been used as if it was a separate surname. Some examples are:

  • Pola Uddin, Baroness Uddin (born 1959), British politician
  • Keith Uddin (born 1979), British songwriter
