Majid meaning
Majid (ماجد) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Glorious, noble; of good disposition, liberal, munificent
Majid (ماجد) is the Arabic mājid, from majd, which Lane's lexicon defines as glory, honour, dignity and nobility, especially nobility of deeds or of ancestry, and also generosity. Lane gives mājid as glorious and noble, of good disposition, liberal and munificent, and notes that the related majīd, the source of the name Majeed, has a more intensive sense. Name lists give Majid as "glorious" or "noble", matching the dictionary. The Iranian film director Majid Majidi is a well-known bearer.
