'''Saddam''' (]: صدام, ''Ṣaddām''; {{IPA-ar|sˤɑdˈɑːm|pron}}) is an Arabic name which means "resolute Protector". It comes from the Arabic verb "sadda" which means "fended off", or "kept the harm away". The car bumper is called "saddam" in Arabic, the front and back bumper are called saddamat, the plural of saddam. In the Iraqi culture, the name means protector of the weak or defender of the tribe, with a very noble sense of the word.
