Navid is Persian in Origin.
Navid is a Persian (Farsi) given name, نوید (navīd), meaning “good news,” “glad tidings,” or “joyful announcement.” It is used primarily for boys in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, and traveled into Urdu through centuries of Persian influence in South Asia, where Naveed is common. The term appears in classical Persian poetry and courtly language to signal auspicious proclamations, which helped cement its positive, celebratory sense as a personal name.
As a modern given name, Navid gained broad popularity in the late 20th century across Persian-speaking communities and their diasporas. Common variants and transliterations include Naveed (Urdu/English), Naweed or Nawid (Dari), and the scholarly form Navīd; a feminine counterpart in Persian is Navideh. Short forms such as Navi occur informally. The name should not be confused with Indian Naveen, which has a different origin and meaning.
