আজাদ
Bengali
Alternative forms
- আযাদ (ajad) – less common
Etymology
Borrowed from Classical Persian آزاد (āzād), from Middle Persian ʾcʾt' (/āzād/, “noble; free”), from Old Persian *𐎠𐏀𐎠𐎫 (*a-z-a-t /āzāta-/), from Proto-Iranian *āzāta-. Cognate with Avestan 𐬁𐬰𐬁𐬙𐬀 (āzāta, “noble”), Manichaean Middle Persian [script needed] (ʾʾzʾd /āzād/), and Parthian 𐭀𐭆𐭀𐭕 (ʾzʾt /āzāt/, “noble”). Akin to Old Armenian ազատ (azat), Georgian აზატი (azaṭi), Iranian borrowings. Ultimately from the past participle of Proto-Iranian *zan- (“to be born”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁-, originally meaning “born (into the clan)” and, by extension, “noble” and “free”.
