Eid is a commonly used Arabic word that simply means holiday. In the Arab world the term is used for birthday and holidays and is commonly not limited to Muslim holidays but also includes Christian holidays.

Furthermore the term is used in English to refer to some Arab Christian holidays. Wikileb123 (talk) 22:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Eid is just generic word for celebration. Samy23 22:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes I’ve updated the page to include that! Wikileb123 (talk) 22:41, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Merge discussions
I've merged EID to this page, per Disambiguation. I've also specified the direction (merge from/to) for Eid festival. See further discussion on this issue at Talk:Eid festival. Thanks. --Quiddity 18:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a few problems with the namespace of this article. I don't know what the content of EID was, but it seems that "Eid" invariably refers to a proper name of a place or festival and "EID" (all caps) is invariably an acronym. Furthermore, EID is a commonly used term related to eSIM technology. I prefer having two disambiguation pages, one for Eid and another EID, with a See also template referring each one to the other, because the Wikipedia article naming convention makes clear distinctions between use of capital case letters for the two situations. Furthermore, because EID itself may well be the proper namespace for the eSIM technical term, EID (disambiguation) seems to be the proper article name for disambiguation of less commonly used acronyms. I need a moment to ponder and will likely propose a move of EID acronym contents. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 23:51, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds fine. Things have changed a lot in 15 years! (cf. old docs from 2007 vs current docs). Cheers, Quiddity (talk) 23:23, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
