Talk:Sajjad

Etymology

@Baph6met: I recently removed the following content:

This name is derived from the Arabic word "Masjid", which is actually derived from another word in the Middle Persian language.

The word "Masjid" means Mosque And the name "Sajjad" means "The one who worships a lot in the Mosque". The word "Masjid' is pronounced "Mazgat" in Middle Persian, meaning "The place of Mazda".

And User:Baph6met reverted, with no explanation in the edit comment, and the following on my talk page:

I'm PERSIAN, my name is Sajjad, i lived with this name for 23 years and i know everything about it. don't re-edit the pages i've done ever again. you're an american, you have no culture. there's no culture in your blood! don't try to correct me about myself or my literature with something you picked-up somewhere, you can't even read FARSI.

Leaving aside the problematic tone, Baph6met provides no reliable source for these claims, but is relying on personal knowledge. What's more, sajjad 'worshipper' in Arabic is of course related to masjid 'mosque', as they are both from the triliteral root S-J-D 'to bow down in respect'. As for Middle Persian mazgat, it appears that it was borrowed from Aramaic, and is unrelated to Mazda. If you can find reliable sources backing up your claim, please add them. PS Barnstars are normally given when you approve of someone else's edits, so I'm mystified that you gave me one. --Macrakis (talk) 16:53, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
