Given by the angel Far.
"Far" is an ancient Persian angel (in Zoroastrianism).
"dad" in Persian means either "given" or "justice".
Fardad is the concatenation of these two words.
Therefore "Fardad" means "given by the angel Far" and is a beautiful Persian name. Most of Persian names ending with "dad" are usually very ancient as well. Names such as Mehrdad (gift of the Sun), Khodadad (given by God), Shahrdad (gift of the city), Bamdad (early morning), Behdad (best justice), and so on.
How is it pronounced?
Persian (or Farsi or Parsi) is a very, very melodic language and that is one of the reasons it is so beautiful. The tone of your voice can fully determine the meaning of the sentence or word. Factors such as anger, relief, happiness, doubt, etc would heavily influence how you pronounce a word or sentence in Persian. Therefore the proper pronunciation of this name would depend on the speaker and their mood! But for non-native Persian speakers, the best (simplest) way would be the following:
Pronounce "Far" like the first part (ending with 'r') of "farrow" in English, trying to pronounce the 'r' the Spanish way: quite clear and emphasised.
"Dad" is NOT pronounced as dad in English. Pronounce it as "daad".
So you could pronounce it as FaRdaad (with R being emphasised in the Spanish way).

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
