This article is about Saddam, the Arabic name. For the late Iraqi president, see Saddam Hussein.

Saddam (Arabic صدام) is an Arabic name which literally means "One who confronts". Other possible meanings include:

  • "One who frequently causes collisions"
  • "Powerful collider"
  • "One who frequently confronts"
  • "One who causes a collision that had bad results"
  • "Powerful confronter"
  • "One who frequently crashes"
  • "Powerful commander"
  • "A young boy who shines shoes" (with the accent on the first 'a')

The best known bearer of the name was Saddam Hussein (1937-2006), former state president and prime minister of Iraq. The name has risen in popularity in some Muslim populations after the War in Iraq and the former prime minister's execution.
