1. seyed

   Sayyid (UK: , US: ; Arabic: سيد [ˈsæjjɪd]; Persian: [sejˈjed]; meaning 'sir', 'Lord', 'Master'; Arabic plural: سادة sādah; feminine: سيدة sayyidah; Persian: [sejˈjede]) is a surname of Muslims descending from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali,: 31  sons of Muhammad's daughter Fatima and his cousin and son-in-law Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib).: 149 While in the early islamic period the title Al-Sayyid was applied on all the members of the of banu hashim, the tribe of Muhammad. Later on, the title was made specific to those of Hasani and Hussaini descent, primarily by the Fatimid Caliphs. Female sayyids are given the titles sayyida, syeda, alawiyah, or sharifa. In some regions of the Islamic world, such as in Iraq, the descendants of Muhammad are given the title amīr or mīr, meaning "aristocrats", "commander", or "ruler".In Shia Islam the son of a non Sayyid father and a Sayyida mother claim the title Mirza. In Sunni Islam a person descended from Muhammad (either maternally or paternally) can only claim the title of Sayyid by fulfilling special requirements. These are mostly based on the claimant's demonstrated knowledge of the Quran under the assessment of a Naqib al-Ashraf. The current Naqib ul Ashraf of the Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya from the prestigeous Dakik Family is descending from Bahauddin Naqshband by blood through the Naqib and Imam Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha, known as Imam Al- Rafi Ishaan.A few Arabic language experts state that it has its roots in the word al-asad الأسد, meaning "lion", probably because of the qualities of valour and leadership.: 158 : 265  The word is derived from the verb sāda, meaning to rule. The surname seyyid/sayyid (pl. sâda as in sādat Quraysh or the chiefs of Quraysh tribe) existed before Islam.Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic defines seyyid as master, chief, sovereign, or lord. It also denotes someone respected and of high status. Although reliable statistics are unavailable, conservative estimates put the number of Sayyids in the tens of thousands.In the Arab world, sayyid is the equivalent of the English word "liege lord" or "master" when referring to a descendant of Muhammad, as in Sayyid Ali Sultan. The word saeed (from the contracted form sayyidī, "my liege") is often used in Arabic.
