If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Sarmad is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Eternal', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Sarmad comes from the Arabic root s-r-m-d, meaning "perpetual" or eternal. The Quran (28:71-72) asks what people would do if Allah made the night or day "sarmadan," perpetual.

Notable Historical Usage

From the tenth century Persian became the literary and courtly language of the eastern Islamic world, carried by the Samanid, Ghaznavid, Seljuk, Timurid and Mughal courts and used in administration as far as Bengal. Its vocabulary of light, garden and heart supplied given names across that whole reach, alongside the Arabic religious stock, and still does.
