The name Zahid is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Self-denying, ascetic', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Zahid, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Zahid comes from the Arabic root z-h-d, meaning “to renounce” or “turn away from worldly desires.” It is translated as “ascetic,” describing “zuhd,” a valued quality of detachment from material excess in Islamic spirituality.
