In Arabic, the most common translation of "Abd" translates literally as "Worshiper of God" or "Worshiper," and "al-Hazir" means "The Warner." His name thus roughly translates to <u>'''Worshiper of The Warner'''</u>. It is unknown whether the Eastern countries of [[Sanctuary]] use Arabic or a similar language, but we may find a greater use of Arabic names and connotations in the game. "Abd" can also be translated different depending on circumstance and where in the Arabic (real) world it's used. It can also be used to describe a "slave" or a "servant". This would make the name implying he is the "Servant of The Warner".
'''The Warner''' could be a prophet or a deity of some sort in Diablo 3. There is evidence that Adb's parents were religious, though he is not. It could also refer to Abd's role in foreshadowing the dark times ahead, a prevalent theme in many of his writings.
