Meaning & Origin

A surname from Persian.

Majd is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin, meaning 'glory' or 'honor,' from the Arabic root majd (magnificence, glory, exaltedness). Al-Majid is among the 99 names of God in Islamic tradition.

Glory names — Majid, Gloria, Gloire — share the aspiration that a child will live a life of distinction and honor. Majd is the Arabic expression of this universal wish in its most direct form: four letters that contain the entire concept of glory. Used across the Arab world, it's a name of dignified simplicity and profound meaning.
