Welcome to Māj — where connections thrive and communities come together. Created by Mahdi Abedi, this platform reflects a passion for building an inclusive and impactful social network. The journey to find the perfect name was thoughtful, embodying a dedication to crafting something meaningful and engaging.
After exploring many names rooted in Persian culture and history, one stood out: Māj. It carries profound cultural significance. In classical Persian dictionaries, ماج (Māj) is interpreted in various ways:
- According to Dehkhoda, it signifies “moon.” In Persian, the letter “ج” (J) sometimes transforms into “ه” (H), making Māj equivalent to ماه (Mah), meaning “moon.” This symbolism is beautifully expressed in Ferdowsi’s verse:
“Chou to shāh neshast bar takht-e ‘āj, Forouq az to gīrad hameh Mehr o Māj.”
- Dehkhoda also notes that Māj means “narrator” or “storyteller,” resonating with the platform’s vision of sharing stories and fostering connections.
- Both Farhang-e Farsi, Farhang-e Moein, and Farhang-e Amid also define Māj as representing the moon (ماه, قمر), symbolizing illumination and guidance, aligning with the network’s goal of offering a space for light and direction in the digital age.
These rich meanings not only reflect Mahdi’s personal identity but also resonate with the values of unity, storytelling, and community—key to the platform’s mission. Māj is a place where users’ narratives converge, where connections flourish, and every voice is appreciated.
Launched on September 24, 2024, Māj stands as a testament to this vision. The platform seamlessly integrates your digital life into a web of real relationships, ensuring that every connection adds value and meaning.
