Jawid (Persian: جاويد, romanized: Jāwīd), also spelled Jawed, Jawayd, Javid, Javaid, Javed and other variants, is a masculine given name of Persian origin meaning meaning "long life" or "eternal".[1][2]
The name is from Modern Persian jāwid جاود "eternal". The word continues Middle Persian jāwīd, from an Old Persian *yāvaitat, ultimately from *yauu-, Iranian oblique stem of *āiuu- "age, duration", cognate with Greek αἰών "eon".[3]
It is also chosen as a pseudonym by some, such as Huseyn Javid (Huseyn Abdulla oglu Rasizadeh) in the early 20th century. The given name became popular among Indian Muslims from about the 1940s, and remains a popular name for baby boys in Pakistan. Notable people with the name include:
