Hirad is Persian in Origin.
Hirad is a Persian masculine given name (هیراد), pronounced hee-RAHD. Its meaning centers on reason and good sense - “wise,” “sagacious,” “endowed with intellect.” Many Iranian sources connect it to the Persian noun kherad (خِرَد “wisdom”), itself from Middle Persian xrad and earlier Iranian forms, a key concept in classical Persian thought and literature.
As a personal name, Hirad is modern in use, rising in Iran and the diaspora in the late 20th and early 21st centuries amid renewed interest in native Persian vocabulary. It does not appear as a stock character name in medieval verse, though the ideal of kherad is celebrated in works like the Shahnameh. Variants and spellings include Hirad, Hiraad, Heerad, and Hirād; related forms are Kherad (rare as a given name) and Kheradmand (“wise,” often a surname).
