Meaning and history
Shahrazad possibly means “noble lineage” from Persian چهر (chehr), meaning “lineage” or “origin,” and آزاد (āzād), meaning “free” or “noble,” though it may alternatively mean “child of the city” from شهر (shahr), meaning “city” or “land,” plus the suffix زاد (zād), meaning “child of.” It is the name of the fictional storyteller in The 1001 Nights, who tells her husband the king a story each night for 1001 nights to postpone her execution.
