Rashid is the transliteration of two male given names:
{{langx|ar|راشد }} {{Transliteration|ar|Rāshid}} and {{langx|ar|رشيد}} {{Transliteration|ar|Rashīd}} (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").{{Cite web |title=Abd al-Rashid |url=https://www.name-doctor.com/meaning/abd-al-rashid}}
