A globally popular Muslim name, meaning "God's beloved". Variant spellings include Abeebullah and Abibullah. All manifestations of the name can be realised with a final grapheme <i>.
Note that it is common to hear or see the name in clipped forms, without the Allah-bearing morpheme — for instance, Habeeb, Abeeb or Abib. Note, however, that these clipped forms could be used as an appellative noun or a proper noun.
In appellative usages, the inflectional suffix "i" is added to these clipped forms to become terms of endearment which can be used for the male in romantic relationships — Habeeb + i = Habeebi, meaning "My beloved".
