The baby name Abdul-Rasheed is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ʕabd ar-raˈʃiːd/ (approx. ab-DUL ra-SHEED).

Abdul-Rasheed is Arabic in Origin.

Abdul-Rasheed is the transliterated Arabic ʿAbd al-Rashīd (عبد الرشيد), combining ʿabd “servant” with the divine epithet al-Rashīd, “the Rightly Guided” or “Infallible Guide,” from the root r‑sh‑d denoting sound judgment and guidance. As a theophoric compound common in Islamic naming, it literally means “servant of the Rightly Guided [One].”

Used across the Muslim world since early Islam, the name reflects veneration of one of the Asmāʾ al-Ḥusnā (the 99 Names of God) and echoes the honorific al-Rashīd borne by figures such as the Abbasid caliph Hārūn al-Rashīd. Regional spellings include Abdul Rashid, Abd al-Rashid, Abdur Rashid, Abd ar-Rashid, Abdelrachid/Abdel Rachid (Maghreb/Francophone), Abdirashid (Somali), Abdorrashid (Persian), and Rasheed vs. Rashid in South Asian and Anglophone contexts. Short forms like Abdul or Rashid may be used informally, though religiously the compound is kept intact.
