Omid is Persian in Origin.
Omid is a Persian given name from the New Persian noun omīd (امید), meaning “hope,” “expectation,” or “aspiration.” It appears widely in Persian literature as a cherished virtue, and as a personal name it rose to broad popularity in the 20th century across Iran and Persian-speaking communities. Today it remains a familiar choice among Iranians and the diaspora. While chiefly masculine, it can be used unisex in some contexts.
Variants and cognates reflect its diffusion across the Persianate and Turkic worlds: Omeed (anglicized), Umed/Umeed or Umid in Urdu, Hindi, Marathi, and Sindhi; Ümid in Azerbaijani; Umid in Uzbek and Tajik; and related Turkish forms Ümit and Umut, both meaning “hope.” A casual nickname Omi appears in English-speaking settings. Not to be confused with Arabic Amid (عميد), which is a separate name and title.
