Abdi is a male given name.

Abdi is a Muslim name, particularly common in Somalia. It is an altered version of the Arabic "Abdul", and is usually followed by one of the 99 names of Allah, signifying "servant of God". In long format it could be written as Abdi-Rahman, Abdi-Nasir, Abdi-Nuur, Abdi-Karim etc. Abdi-Nuur for example would mean the servant of light.

Abdi is also the name of two or three men in the Hebrew Bible:

• In 1 Chronicles 6:44 Abdi is a Levite of the family of Merari.
• In 2 Chronicles 29:12 Abdi is a Levite in the time of King Hezekiah of Judah. This may be the same man as in 1 Chronicles 6:44.
• In Ezra 10:26 Abdi is the son of Elam, and one of a long list of men who had married foreign wives, and who then sent them away together with their children.

In the internet cartoon Homestar Runner, Abdi LaRue was the first person to have his email responded to by Strong Bad.
