Meged as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Meged

What is the meaning of the name Meged ?

The baby name Meged is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced me-GED (meh-GED) — IPA: /meˈɡed/.

Meged is Hebrew in Origin.

From Biblical Hebrew מֶגֶד (meged), the name conveys "bounty," "excellence," and "precious gifts." The noun appears in the Blessing of Joseph (Deuteronomy 33:13–16: meged shamayim, "choicest gifts of heaven") and is related to megadim ("choice fruits") in Song of Songs and migdanot ("precious gifts") in Genesis. These associations lend Meged an aura of abundance, blessing, and delight.

As a given name, Meged emerged in modern Hebrew usage, part of the 20th‑century revival of nature- and virtue‑inflected names in Israel; it remains uncommon yet recognizable and is used for both boys and girls. Transliterations vary - Meged is standard; Meguéd appears in French contexts. Related lexical forms include Megadim and Migdanot, though these are not used as personal names. Note that Maged (Arabic spelling) typically represents Majid, a separate Arabic name meaning "glorious, noble."
