Majid: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1988.
A name with deep Arabic roots, Majid derives from the word *majd*, meaning "glory" or "splendor," and is one of the ninety-nine beautiful names of Allah in Islam. Famous bearers include Majid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, a member of Dubai's royal family known for his equestrian pursuits, and Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi, celebrated for his poetic cinema. While no major places share the name directly, the root appears in many cities and surnames across the Islamic world. A notable variant is Majeed; the name has been given to boys in Scotland since the 1990s, reflecting the country's growing multicultural communities. Its powerful meaning of glory makes it a purposeful choice for parents seeking a name with spiritual resonance.
