Meaning & origin
Omeed is a Persian name meaning 'hope,' carried by a small but steady number of families each year. First recorded in the United States in 1979, it reached its peak popularity in 1988, though it has never cracked the top 1,000 boys' names. Its trajectory has remained remarkably stable, neither surging nor fading, reflecting its consistent but niche appeal, particularly within Persian-American communities. The name's connection to its Persian origin gives it a distinct cultural resonance without being tied to any specific state or region in the U.S.
Omeed is a Persian name derived from the word "omid" (امید), meaning 'hope' or 'aspiration.' It has been a traditional given name in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities, carrying positive connotations of optimism and expectation. The name remains in steady but infrequent use across the Persian diaspora.
