Name meaning and origin
Majid is formed from the Arabic root majd (glory, honor) and means majestic, honorable, abundantly generous. The word has also entered Azerbaijani in the form majd and is used to denote high value and respect. The name Abdulmajid, already in the registry, is also formed from the same root.
Al-Majid is one of the 99 names of Allah, but as a personal name Majid is used without the article Al- and indicates that the person is honorable and respected. The word appears in verse 50:1 of Surah Qaf as an adjective describing the Quran itself, which shows its firm place in religious texts.
