Sepide as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sepide

What is the meaning of the name Sepide ?

The baby name Sepide is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced seh-PEE-deh (IPA: /seˈpiːde/).

Sepide is Persian in Origin.

Sepide is a feminine Persian name, a streamlined transliteration of Sepideh (Persian سپیده), pronounced seh-PEE-deh. It stems from New Persian sepid “white, bright,” from Old Iranian *spaida- “bright/white,” and by association denotes the first pale light of day. In Persian usage, sepideh carries the poetic sense of “dawn” or “daybreak,” evoking clarity and renewal; the shorter romanization Sepide simply omits the final -h common in English renderings.

As a given name, Sepide/Sepideh rose to prominence in 20th‑century Iran and remains familiar across Persian-speaking communities in Iran, Afghanistan, and the diaspora, often appreciated for its literary resonance with classical images like sepide-dam (“at daybreak”). The most common variant is Sepideh; others include Sepide (this form), Sepidé in Francophone contexts, and the rarer Sepida. Related adjective-noun Sepid (“white”) underlies the name but is seldom used as a personal name. Meaning: “dawn; first light; bright/white.”
