Javed meaning
Javed (جاوید) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Eternal, everlasting; eternity
Also used to mean: immortal
Javed (جاوید) is the Persian word jāwīd, pronounced jāved in Urdu. Steingass's Persian dictionary defines it as eternal and as eternity, and gives the related jāwidān as everlasting, and also the world to come. Urdu poets use jāved for what lasts for ever, and Allama Iqbal named his son Javed and wrote the Javed Nama for him. Name lists give "eternal" or "immortal", which matches. A few sites say "generous", which is the meaning of the different Arabic name Jawad. Javed is used by Indian Muslims.
