Hamid

Hamad refers to two different but related Arabic given names, both of which come from the Arabic triconsonantal root of Ḥ-M-D:

  1. Ḥāmed - حامد - also spelled Haamed, or Hamed, and in Turkish Hamed; it means “one who praises”.[1][2]
  2. Ḥamīd - حمید - also spelled Hamid, or Hameed, in Turkish is Hamit, and in Azeri is Həmid or Һәмид; it means “lauded” or “praiseworthy”.

Ḥamīd is the 56th name of Allah from one of the 99 names of God (أَسْمَاءُ ٱللهُ ٱلْحُسْنَى ʾAsmāʾ Ullāhi ʾl-Ḥusnā) in Arabic.
