بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Ziyad is an Arabic name that comes from a root word meaning “increase”. The name has a positive meaning and it is allowed to choose any name for a child with a positive meaning. Many Companions kept their old names after accepting Islam, as long as they did not have any bad meaning.

Only Allah knows best,
