Shazad is Persian in Origin.
Shazad is an anglicized spelling of Persian shāhzād, written in Perso-Arabic as شهزاد or شاهزاد in extended spelling. Its root language is New Persian, with the compound already visible in medieval Persian usage: shāh for king and the past participial element zād, born, begotten, from the verb zādan. The literal sense is born of a king, hence prince.
The name travelled with Persianate court culture into Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, and Turkic settings, where Shahzad and Shehzad became common Muslim masculine forms, especially in Pakistan, North India, and diaspora communities in Britain and North America. Ottoman Turkish used the cognate şehzade as an imperial title for princes, while South Asian spellings vary with transliteration. Modern Shazad is less standard than Shahzad but functions as the same name.
