Meaning and origin of Jawaad
Two pictures sit behind Jawād: a person who gives freely, and a thoroughbred horse that runs fast and true. Jawaad spells it with a doubled 'a' to show the long vowel. Its root brings together generosity and excellence, the sense of giving the very best of what you have. For Shia Muslims the name has extra weight, because al-Jawād is the title of Muhammad ibn ʿAlī, their ninth Imam.
