Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sajid: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 1987.

Sajid is a name of Arabic origin, derived from "sajada," meaning to prostrate, and carries the sense of one who worships or is devout. It is a common Muslim name across South Asia and the Middle East. Notable bearers include Sajid Javid, the British Conservative politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary, and Sajid Khan, the Indian film director and actor. While the name itself does not have direct place connections, it shares its root with the word "masjid" (mosque). Variant spellings include Sajeed, and the name remains a popular choice in Scotland’s South Asian communities, reflecting the country’s diverse cultural fabric.
