Meaning & origin
Sajad entered U.S. naming records in 2000, a year that marks its first recorded use. Its peak popularity came in 2002, when it reached its highest rank, but since 2018 its use has been declining. In 2025, Sajad ranked 8910, with roughly 1 in 213,510 newborn boys given the name. The name remains relatively rare in the United States, though it is more common in Muslim-majority countries. Its absence from any top states suggests a scattered, small-scale usage among American families who value its strong religious roots.
Sajad is a direct Arabic masculine given name derived from the active participle saajid, meaning 'prostrating' or 'worshiper.' It shares a root with the name Sajid and the concept of sujud (prostration in Islamic prayer). The name has been borne across the Muslim world, particularly in Iran, Pakistan, and India, where it is often chosen for its religious connotation of humility before God.
