What is the meaning of the name Nahid ?

The baby name Nahid is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NAH-HEED (IPA: /nɑːˈhiːd/).

Nahid is Persian in Origin.

Nahid (Persian: ناهید) is a Persian given name meaning “Venus,” the morning-evening star. It descends from Middle Persian Anāhīd, itself from Avestan Anāhitā, the revered goddess of waters and fertility whose epithet means “immaculate, pure.” In New Persian, Nahid became the standard astronomical name for the planet, and by extension evokes radiance, beauty, and auspicious love.

Used in Iran for centuries, the name spread through Persianate culture into Afghanistan, Central and South Asia, and the Arabic-speaking world. It is chiefly feminine in Persian and Urdu, yet functions as unisex in parts of South Asia and the Middle East. Common variants and transliterations include Naheed, Nahed, Nāhid, Nahíd, and Nahide; cognates and older forms are Anahid and Anahita. Related masculine Turkish forms include Nahit. The name remains popular in literature and modern media, prized for its elegant sound and celestial associations.
