Meaning of Jood

Jood is a unisex name of Arabic origin (جود) meaning “generosity” or “goodness,” pronounced /dʒuːd/. It has drawn attention for its clear, cross-cultural appeal—particularly among Latin families in the United States—who value its blend of modern simplicity and traditional resonance. National statistics show Jood first appearing in U.S. birth records in the early 2000s, peaking at 36 occurrences (rank 923) in 2017, then settling at 11 births (rank 939) in 2024 after annual counts fluctuated between 14 and 26 from 2018 to 2023. Its steady position near the top 1,000 underscores a growing preference for names that merge global roots with streamlined form.
