I haven't ever heard it termed "norouz." But yes, there are two "eid's" in the Islamic religion. "EID" means something that is celebrated again and again. It's returning. That is why even Fridays are considered small "eid's" b/c they are a day of happiness for Muslims and it repeats over and over.
One 'Eid is at the end of the month of Ramadan ('Eid al Fitr) - after a month of fasting, Muslims rejoice by not fasting for three days and enjoying good food, and nice clothing, but not in extravagance.
The other 'Eid is during the month of Zhul - Hijja when Hajj is performed and it falls on the 1oth day. This is 'Eid al Adha. Muslims sacrifice an animal for Allah - for this is the same way that Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was about to sacrifice his son for Allah and then Allah replaced that son with an animal. They are encouraged to raise it and feed it so that they become emotionally attached to it, and then sacrifice it for the sake of Allah.
I hope that helps! :)

Norouz means 'New day'.. No means 'new' and Rouz means 'day'. It is a Persian or Farsi word. Persian new year is named Norouz and we have a huge celebration for Norouz as well which lasts for 2 weeks from March 21 to April 2 or 3. However, Eid is an Arabic word came into Farsi language, which means basically Norouz or new. And we mostly use Eid for Norouz or other religious holidays because it is easier to say.

I have never heard it in the term 'norouz' before, so thats new.
Well EID is celebrated across the Muslim countries & whereever muslims live.
EID is alot like X-Mas, but without the tree & it happens twice a year.
First, right after the month of Ramadan.
& then, two months & 10 days later it is celebrated again.
The first one is called EID-ul-Fitr & the second one is called EID- ul-Adha.
On both occasions you have to give some sacrifice.
On the first EID you sacrifice by giving money or other goods to your freinds & family, but on the second one you sacrifice by salughthering a cow, goat, lamb or a camel [your choice].
