What is the meaning of the name Sajid ?

The baby name Sajid is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAH-jid (IPA: /saːˈdʒid/).

Sajid is Arabic in Origin.

Sajid is an Arabic masculine given name (ساجد) meaning “one who prostrates [to God],” from the root s-j-d (sajada, “to bow/prostrate”), the same family that yields sujūd and masjid. The name carries a devotional sense in Islamic contexts, emphasizing humility in worship, and appears in early Muslim biographical records.

It is used across the Arab world and widely in South Asia through Urdu and Persian influence, with steady presence in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Muslim diasporas. Common variants and spellings include Sājid, Saajid, Sajed, and the Turkish Sacit/Sâcit; the feminine form is Sajida (also Sajeeda). Related but distinct is Sajjad, meaning “one who prostrates often.” Informal diminutives such as Saj and Saji occur in English-speaking contexts. Contemporary bearers include British politician Sajid Javid and Indian filmmaker Sajid Khan, illustrating the name’s broad reach.
