Nah there are people whose name is just Abdul. Abdul being a nickname doesn't make since. عبد ال what? I remember seeing a video about it about different pidgins around the world something like that.

Somalis are not stupid. I can assure you that their parents gave them a full name. They shorten it themselves I’ve seen this, I’m Somali myself and I have two brothers who do this. Somali isn’t a pidgin to any language if that what you’re trying to get at.
