Masood meaning
Masood (مسعود) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Fortunate, happy; made prosperous or happy by God
Masood (مسعود) is the Arabic masʿūd, from the root s-ʿ-d, "to be fortunate, happy". Lane's lexicon groups it with saʿīd as prosperous, fortunate, happy, or in a state of felicity, in religion and in worldly things, and adds that masʿūd especially means made happy or fortunate by God. Name lists give the meaning as "fortunate", "happy" or "blessed", matching the dictionary. Famous bearers include Abdullah ibn Masʿud, a companion of the Prophet and early teacher of the Quran in Kufa, and Sultan Masʿud of Ghazni.
