Meaning of Mehrdad
Mehrdad is a masculine name with Persian origins. In Persian, it is pronounced as mehr-DAHD (/mɛərˈdɑːd/). This name carries a strong and noble meaning, as "Mehr" translates to "kindness" or "affection," while "Dad" means "given" or "bestowed." The combination of these elements creates a name that conveys love and generosity. Although not very common in the United States, Mehrdad has been given to a few newborns since the 1980s. This unique name holds cultural significance and would be a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful moniker for their baby boy.
