Bayezid is a historical boys’ name of Persian origin derived from the name Bayazid, which means “the ruler who brings prosperity” (bay: noble or ruler; yazid: growth). The name first came into the limelight due to the Persian saint Sufi Bayazid Bastami. It was later adapted by the Turkish notables. The name is associated with some of the greatest rulers of the Ottoman Empire. Its spelling variations include Bayazid, Beyazid, and Baiazid. The name not only reflects the greatness of the Ottoman Empire but also Saint Bastami’s spiritual strength. Luckily enough, despite the rich cultural and spiritual association, the name is not common in the current world, providing a perfect opportunity for the parents who love to see their baby get a great, unique name.
