Meaning & source
We have not found a meaning we can source, so we do not give one.
Prophet sent to ʿĀd. We found no classical source in our cache that gives the meaning of his name, so we leave the meaning blank. (In Lisān al-ʿArab the root h-w-d means repentance, but no lexicographer we read ties the prophet’s name to it.)
