Majid is the transliteration of two male given names; (Arabic: ماجد, Mājid, alternatively spelled Majed or Maajid) and (Arabic: مجيد, Majīd, alternatively spelled Majeed or Madjid). The latter name has a diacritic, in the strict transliteration, on the "I", which emphasises the long "I" sound in that name's pronunciation.
