Borrowed from German Scheherazade, from Russian Шехераза́да (Šexerazáda), from Classical Persian شَهْرَازَاد (šahrāzād), alternative form of شَهْرْزَاد (šahrzād); either a reborrowing from Arabic شَهْرْزَاد (šahrzād) from Middle Persian *čihrāzād⁠, equivalent to New Persian چهر (čihr /čehr, “lineage”) + آزاد (āzād /âzâd, “noble”), or a compound of شهر (šahr, “city”) + زاد (zād /zâd, “child of”), in which case there was likely no reborrowing through Arabic involved. Given name popularized by the fictional character below.
