Zadeh (also Zade[1]) (Persian: زاده) is a Persian patronymic suffix meaning 'descendant of' or 'born of' used in names mainly in Iran and Azerbaijan.
Notable people whose names contain 'Zadeh' include:
- Lotfi A. Zadeh (1921–2017), mathematician, electrical engineer, and computer scientist
- Hossein Rezazadeh (born 1978), Iranian politician, retired Olympic weightlifter, and world record holder
- Zadeh, a common element (i.e., that sequence, though not necessarily with the initial letter in upper-case) in Iranian names and toponyms -- Hence, see All pages with titles containing Zadeh, although due to technical considerations it will omit most of the many instances where that letter is immediately preceded, not by either a hyphen or white-space, but by a letter of the alphabet.
