Sajad is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, from the triliteral root s-j-d (sajada, “to prostrate”). In Arabic it appears as Sajjād (سجّاد), an intensive form meaning “one who prostrates often,” hence “devout, humble worshipper.” The epithet al‑Sajjād is famously associated with Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al‑Ābidīn, the fourth Shia Imam, which helped cement the name’s devotional prestige across the Islamic world.

Usage spans Arabic- and Persian-influenced regions, with spelling shaped by local scripts and transliteration. Sajjad is the most common rendering in Arabic and Urdu; Sajad prevails in Persian-influenced contexts such as Iran; Sajaad is an English phonetic variant; and Sejad is the Bosnian form. Related names include Sajid (masculine) and Sajida (feminine), both from the same root. The name remains popular from Iran and Iraq to Pakistan, India, and the Balkans, valued for its pious meaning and understated, contemporary sound.
