Masud

Meaning of Masud

Masud, pronounced mah-SOOD, is a warm, spirited name of Arabic and Persian origin that literally means “fortunate” or “lucky.” It carries the gentle promise of good things to come—like a whispered wish each time it’s spoken—and offers parents a touch of timeless cultural heritage without feeling out of place in an Anglo-American nursery. In the United States, Masud has quietly held a sweet spot near the 900th rank over the past decade, with roughly a dozen little ones bearing the name each year. That modest popularity makes it distinctive yet approachable, perfect for families who want a name that feels both deeply meaningful and effortlessly modern. Whether you’re drawn to its melodic rhythm or its optimistic roots, Masud is a playful invitation to celebrate a child destined for happiness.
