Rashid (name)

Rashid is the transliteration of two male given names: راشد Rāshid and رشيد Rashīd (also spelled Rasheed), both meaning 'rightly guided', 'having the true faith'. It also means 'the high one'.

In Islamic tradition, al-Rashid is one of the 99 names of Allah, and thus as a personal name is often used with the word abd (عبد الرشيد, ʻAbd al-Rashīd; "servant of the rightly guided").
