Rashid (name)

Rashid, Rashed, Rasheed, Rashied, or Rasyid is the transliteration of two masculine given names and surnames of Arabic origin: and , both meaning 'rightly guided', 'having the true faith', or alternatively '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"). Notable people with the name include:
