People have disputed its meaning. Some say they are names of people or kings, or the six days in which Allah created the world, which is Al-Tabari's preferred interpretation.

The correct view is that they are not names for specific entities, but rather were composed to help understand the formation of words from the alphabet letters. The correct pronunciation is "Abjad Hawwaz Hutti," not "Abu Jad Hawwaz."
