Arabic term

شارع عياد بك

Arabic to English Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Egyptian birth certificate, 1960's
This street is an address of a house mentioned in an Egyptian birth certificate (1967). I need to transliterate the name of this street, but I do not know how to pronounce it. Is it IYAD, AYYAD, or something else? Is there a standard English spelling for the name of this street or for the name of the personage after whom the street was named?

For my own edification, where is this street? And who is this person (so important as to have a street named after him)?
Proposed translations (English)
5 +4 AYYAD
5 +3 Ayyad Bek Street
2 +2 Ayyad - Ayad

I wish I could tell you who is Ayyad but unfortunately the number of streets names in Egypt reaches the number of population in other countries. I wish Egypt officials create encyclopedia of streets names in the future.

ينطق هذا الاسم بفتح العين وتشديد وفتح الياء تماما كما ينطق اسم عواد المشهور ببيع أرضه في الفلكلور المصري

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Ahmad, for your quick answer. It seems that almost every mention of this street is associated with St. Mary's, and that officials of this church have almost consecrated the spelling AYAD, as Nesrin has uncovered. So, who is Ayyad, anyway?"

Ayyad - Ayad

I agree with Ahmed that it's pronounced Ayyad.

But I just tried searching for "Ayyad Bek" and "Ayad Bek". THe first one produced 0 results, the second one gave me the following:

Ayyad Bek Street

Bek being a title left as a legacy from the Turkish era,similar to Basha (Pasha). These titles are still very much alive in the Egyptian vocabulary, not necessarily the formal language. Used especially to butter-up officials etc.
