Muslim: from a personal name based on Arabic ῾eid ‘festivity’. The two principal religious festivals observed by Muslims are ῾Eidul Fitr and ῾Eidul Aḍḥā. ῾Eidul Fitr is observed after completion of fasting in Ramadan, ῾Eidul Aḍḥā is observed as a day of sacrifice commemorating the example of the Prophet Ibrahim, or after completion of the Hajj. Eid is sometimes used as part of the name of a child born on one of these two feast days.
