What Al-Maajid means
Al-Maajid means the Noble and Glorious, whose honour and generosity are complete. It shares its root with Al-Majid; scholars explain that it shows how wide and great His glory and giving are. All honour and nobility in creation is a small gift from Him.

In the Qur'an
The name itself is not in the Qur'an as a name, but its meaning is, as in this verse.
قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ
Al-Maajid is from the hadith list; its root appears in the Qur'anic name Al-Majid (11:73).
Living by this name
Praise Allah for His glory, and be noble in your manners and generous with others. Pray: O Allah, You are the Noble; give me from Your generosity.
