Waheed" is an Arabic male given name that has gained popularity worldwide, particularly among Muslim communities. It means "generous" or "bountiful" in Arabic, reflecting a desired virtue. Originating from the root verb 'ahada', which signifies to give liberally or to be generous, Waheed embodies the spirit of benevolence and abundance. The name is often used independently but can also appear as a part of composite names such as Muhammad Waheed or Waheedullah (meaning "God's generosity"). It offers a meaningful and culturally rich option for parents seeking a significant name for their child.
"Waheed experienced a spike in popularity in the late '90s and early 2000s, with at least six births each year from 1995 to 2007."
