Aiyad

A Quranic Name for Boys

Meaning: Powerful and Able

Aiyad is variant of Ayyad and has the exact same meaning and pronunciation (see below for full meaning). You can use either Aiyad or Ayyad, both are correct and acceptable. If you like this variant more and you'd like to pronounce it the way it is spelled (different than the original name), this is perfectly acceptable.

Full Meaning of Aiyad

Aiyad is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “able strengthener”, a person who is powerful and adds strength to others. It is derived from the Y-D-Y root which is mentioned in many places in the Quran, such as 38:17:

Bear with their words patiently. Remember Our servant David, a man of strength who always turned to Us.

Aiyad should not be confused with Ayad. Both names are derived from the same root, but they have different, though close, meanings.
