Wajid meaning
Wajid (واجد) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Finding, a finder; well provided, in need of nothing
Also used to mean: one who perceives
Wajid (واجد) is the Arabic wājid, the active participle of wajada, "to find". Lane's lexicon gives it as finding or a finder, and also as rich or well provided, someone who has enough and needs nothing; as an epithet of God, al-Wājid is "He who has no wants". The same root gives wujūd, "existence". Name lists give "finder" or "one who perceives". Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh and a patron of music and dance, and the film composer Wajid Khan of the duo Sajid–Wajid are well-known bearers.
