Saad () is a common male Arabic given name. The name stems from the Arabic verb ( 'to be happy, fortunate or lucky').
''Saad'' is the stem of variant given names Suad and Sa‘id.
It may be a shortened version of Sa'd al-Din, and is not to be confused with it. It is not the same as the single Arabic letter '' ṣād'', which has no intrinsic meaning.
It may refer to:
