Meaning and origin of Naheeda
Naheeda is a South Asian girls' form of the Persian Nāhīd, the planet Venus. Urdu often gives a name an extra -a, spelled with the letter he, to make it sound unmistakably feminine; Naheed becomes Naheeda in exactly this way. The meaning stays the same. It points to Venus, the shining planet that looks like the brightest star in the sky at morning and evening.
