History & Origin

Omeed is an English rendering of the Persian name Omid, which means 'hope.' It is a genuine, everyday name in Persian, and it appears in American records mainly among Iranian families who arrived in the later twentieth century.

It has always been rare here, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties. An Omeed from that time would be reaching middle age today, part of a young Iranian-American generation.

Did you know? Few names wear their meaning so openly: to a Persian ear Omeed simply is the word for hope, making it a quietly aspirational choice for a son.
