Etymology

From the Arabic root ع-ب-د (ʿ-b-d, 'to serve, worship'), a diminutive form. Ubaid means 'little servant.'

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
