Literal meaning
Sherzod is an Uzbek male name built, according to Wiktionary, from sher 'lion' and the element zod, which the related name Bekzod glosses as 'born of'. Because zod lacks its own entry in that sense, the meaning is left provisional.[1]
Also glossed as “lion + born of”[1,2,3]LikelyThe gloss of zod comes from another name's etymology, not from an entry of its own.
