JAVID

Jawid (Persian: جاويد, romanized: Jāwīd), also spelled Jawed, Jawayd, Javid, Javaid, Javed and other variants, isa masculine given name of Persian origin meaning meaning "long live" or "eternal". 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". 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.
