The Massad family (Arabic: مَسعد, /ˈmæsˈæd/; also written Massaad or Mas'ad), is an Arab Eastern Orthodox Christian and Maronite family name. Originally from Jdeideh Marjayoun, Lebanon, the family emigrated to South America and to the United States (especially to Oklahoma) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the rising oppression of Christians in the Muslim Turkish Ottoman Empire.[1][2]
