Etymology

From Middle Persian [Term?] (/ayād/), from Proto-Iranian *abi- + *yáH- (probably from Proto-Indo-European *yeh₂- (“to go; to go in, to enter”), with Iranian semantic shift "to enter [the mind]" > "to remember"). Compare Tocharian A [Term?] (opyāc, “in remembrance”), probably borrowed from an Eastern Iranian language.

   • c. 1390, Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfiẓ, “Ghazal 11”, in دیوان حافظ [The Divān of Ḥāfiẓ]‎:

     ‏گو نام ما ز یاد به عمداً چه می‌بری
     خود آید آن که یاد نیاری ز نام ما‎

     gū nām-i mā zi yād ba amdan či mē-barī
     xwad āyad ān ki yād nay-ārī zi nām-i mā

     Say, why do you purposely forget my name?
     The [time] shall come by itself that you do not remember my name.
