What Arabic name for Eid al-Adha means 'Greater Eid'?

The Arabic name for Eid al-Adha meaning “Greater Eid” is Eid al-Kabir.

In Arabic, al-kabir means “the great” or “the large,” so al-ʿId al-Kabir is commonly rendered as “Greater Eid,” “Big Eid,” or “the Great Festival.” The festival’s formal Arabic name, Eid al-Adha, means “Festival of the Sacrifice.” Both names refer to the same Islamic holiday.

Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar. It coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage and commemorates Abraham’s willingness to obey God’s command to sacrifice his son before God provided a substitute. Muslims traditionally mark the occasion with communal prayers, charity, family gatherings, and—in communities where it is practiced—the sacrifice of an eligible animal.

A common mix-up is confusing Eid al-Kabir with Eid al-Fitr, the festival that ends Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr is sometimes called the “Lesser Eid,” while Eid al-Adha is the “Greater Eid.” Regional usage varies, so many Muslims simply call this holiday Eid al-Adha.
