Origin of eid
From Eid.
From Old Norse eið (“an isthmus, neck of land”), from Proto-Germanic *aidiją (“isthmus, strait”), of uncertain origin, but probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“to go”). Cognate with Icelandic eið, eiði, Faroese eið, eiði (“isthmus”), Norwegian eid (“isthmus”), Swedish ed. Compare Latin eō (“go, proceed”, verb).
Borrowed from Arabic عِيد (ʕīd, “feast, holiday, festival”) via Iranian Persian عید ('eyd), ultimately from Classical Syriac ܥܐܕܐ.
