It's Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Sayed. "Al-Rahman" isn't even one of the 99 names of Allah that's hard to say in English.

It is an odd Americanized English quirk that he shortened his name to "Abdul", which is basically meaningless in Arabic. "Abdulrahman" would be more accurately transliterated as something like "'Abd Al-Rahman", the "ul/al" part just means "the". The name translates to "Servant of The Most Gracious".
