Meaning & History
Nickname derived from Persian مصدق (mosaddeğ) meaning "approved, reliable, certified, attested, verified", ultimately from Arabic مُصَدِّق (muṣaddiq). It was borne by the politician, author and lawyer Mohammad Mosaddegh (1882-1967), who was Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 until his democratic government was overthrown in a coup d'état in 1953.
