Etymology

From Arabic الأسد (al-ʾasad, literally “the lion”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /æˈsɑːd/ (predominantly)
  • IPA(key): /ˈæsæd/ (chiefly learned; emulating the Arabic)

Proper noun

Assad (plural Assads)

  1. Lua error in Module:names at line 629: dot= and nodot= are no longer supported in Template:surname because a trailing period is no longer added by default; if you want it, add it explicitly after the template, notably borne by Syrian presidents Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad.

Usage notes

  • In Arabic itself, the article al- is an inseparable part of this name. In English, it is usally kept when a first name precedes, but is often dropped otherwise.
