Rashidin is Arabic in Origin.

Rashidin is an Arabic masculine name derived from rāshid, “wise, rightly guided,” from the root r‑sh‑d (رشَد). The form Rashidin reflects the masculine plural rāshidīn, literally “those who are rightly guided.” It is best known from the phrase al‑Khulafā’ al‑Rāshidūn, “the Rightly Guided Caliphs” of early Islam, which gives the name strong associations with upright conduct, prudence, and sound guidance; it also shares its root with the divine epithet al‑Rashīd, “the Infallible Guide.”

As a given name, Rashidin is uncommon in the Arab world but occurs in Muslim‑majority regions, especially Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei), where the spelling Rasyidin is prevalent and it often appears in compound devotional names. Other transliterations include Rashideen and Rāshidīn; related forms are Rashid (masculine), Rashida (feminine), and the nisba Rashidi. The meaning remains “rightly guided; of sound judgment,” expressing a wish for moral clarity and steadfastness.
