Sayyid (name)

Sayyid (pronounced [ˈseːjɪd], Arabic: سيد‎, also transliterated as Sayed, or Syed, IPA: [ˈsajed]) is a masculine given name derived from the title Sayyid, it is not to be confused with the similar looking name Sayid (often spelled Saeed, pronounced [ˈsaʕiːd]). These people are not necessarily considered to be Sayyid; they only use Sayyid as a given name. Some people however with the name may be considered as being Sayyid (males accepted as descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husain ibn Ali).
