Meanings: Compound name composed of the Persian elements shahr (city) and zad (person): hence, “city dweller, urbanite.” The name is borne most famously by a character in The Arabian Nights, which is also known as The Thousand and One Nights . King Shahrayar, betrayed by his wife, vowed never to suffer the same fate again. He married a virgin each night and had her beheaded before dawn. After three years, Shahrazad begged her father to marry her to the king so she could try to end the bloodshed. After her marriage, she began to tell a fascinating story which lulled the king to sleep each night before he could give the order for her beheading. After a thousand and one nights, the king fell in love with Shahrazad and they lived happily ever after. Var: Shahrizad, Sheherazad, Sheherazade. (SHAH-RAH-ZAHD)
