Rashid (name)

Rashid is the transliteration of two male given names: Template:Langx Template:Transliteration and Template:Langx Template:Transliteration (also spelled Rasheed), 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").<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
