Shahid is a powerful and meaningful name with deep roots in Arabic and Persian cultures. It translates to 'Witness' in Arabic and 'Beloved' in Persian, reflecting its significance in both languages. Historically, the name has been associated with strong faith and selflessness, as it is derived from the root Å¡-h-d, which means 'to witness' or 'to testify.' Over time, the name has evolved to symbolize courage and devotion, particularly in Islamic traditions. It is widely used in South Asia and the Middle East, where it is often bestowed upon children in the hope that they will live their lives with strong faith and integrity.
