Majid
Majid (from Arabic مجد madschada , DMG maǧada ' to be glorious, to be highly praised') is the German spelling of two Arabic names or parts of their names. As with the similarly stored Hakim , they differ in that one with a long a and a short i (ماجد, DMG Māǧid ), vice versa Majīd (مجيد, DMG Maǧīd ). The differences in meaning are finer in Majid.
As with many Arabic names, there are also different Latin script variants in this case, which can be found in the following list:
