Ahd is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Arabic roots. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Pledge, knowledge', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Ahd has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ahd comes from the Arabic root '-h-d, meaning "covenant" or promise, a term the Quran uses often for the covenant between Allah and humanity (e.g., 2:27).
