Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The name “AbdusSubhan” is an Arabic name which means: “Slave of the one who is free from all faults/defects, partners and children”[1]

The name “Subhan” refers to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala).

The name Abdus Subhan is a good and suitable.
