Why it is kept for Allah
Scholars list a small number of Allah's names that are His alone and are never given to a person, including Allah, ar-Rahman, al-Khaliq, ar-Razzaq and al-Quddus. Joining them with ‘Abd- (servant of) turns them into some of the best names a child can have.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
