Sajid
/ˈsɑː.dʒɪd/noun
An Arabic masculine given name meaning “one who prostrates” or “one who bows down in worship.”
Did you know?Sajid is built from the Arabic root s-j-d, the same sacred root behind sujūd, the prostration position in Islamic prayer, so the name literally encodes an act of submission and reverence.
