Meaning and origin of Farshid
Farshid pairs two old Persian elements: farr, meaning splendour or divine glory, and shid, meaning light or radiance. That second part is shared with the familiar names Jamshid and Khurshid. The result is a name meaning radiant glory, rooted in ancient Iranian vocabulary rather than in any Arabic word. These days it is carried mostly by Muslim households in Iran, with a smaller following in neighbouring Afghanistan.
