Sharazad
Sharazad Origin and Meaning
Sharazad is a feminine name derived from Persian origins, a variant of Scheherazade, the famed storyteller from 'One Thousand and One Nights.' The name is thought to mean 'free city' or 'noble born.' In the classic tale, Scheherazade saves herself and other women by telling captivating stories to the king for 1,001 nights. This association gives the name connotations of intelligence, creativity, and resilience. While the traditional spelling Scheherazade might be more recognized globally, Sharazad offers a simplified alternative that maintains the exotic appeal while being more approachable in pronunciation. Though relatively uncommon in Western countries, the name carries an air of mystery and literary significance that appeals to parents drawn to names with rich narrative connections.
