Naveed is a masculine name popular across Persian‑speaking and South Asian Muslim communities, though it remains relatively uncommon in Western countries. Originating from Arabic and Persian, the name carries a clear Islamic association.
Parents often select Naveed for its uplifting meaning and its elegant, yet simple, sound that bridges tradition and modernity. Semantically, Naveed comes from the Persian word ناوید (nāvīd), which translates to 'good news' or 'glad tidings' and shares roots with the Arabic نبأ (naba’) meaning 'announcement.
' Historically the term appears in classical Persian poetry, where poets used it to herald joyful events. Consequently, the name conveys optimism and is often chosen for boys expected to bring happiness to their household.
