Aijaz is Arabic in Origin.

Aijaz (Arabic: إعجاز, Urdu: اعجاز) is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, derived from iʿjāz, “inimitability” or “miracle,” from the triliteral root ʿ‑J‑Z meaning “to render powerless” or “to be beyond imitation.” In Islamic thought, iʿjāz al‑Qurʾān names the Qur’an’s miraculous, unmatchable eloquence, which shapes the name’s sense of “marvel, divine sign.”

As a personal name, Aijaz is used most widely in the Indian subcontinent and its diaspora, especially among Urdu-speaking Muslims in Pakistan and India, though it is also found across the broader Muslim world. It rose to modern popularity in the 20th century and appears in compound names such as Aijaz Ahmed. Common variants and transliterations include Ejaz, Ijaz, Eijaz, Ajaz, and Aejaz; all reflect different ways of representing the initial Arabic ʿayn. Related but distinct is ijāzah, “authorization” or “diploma,” from the same root.
