Buraid (transliteration: Burayd, Arabic: بُريد) is an Arabic name for boys which could mean “leopard”, “an animal, especially an ox, that has black and white spots”, “one who is cool/cold”, 12 The name’s meaning cannot be known with certainty because it could be derived from bard, barad or abrad, all of which have differing meanings.3
