Meaning & origin
Mohid is a name of Arabic origin meaning 'guide.' It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2004 and rose to a peak rank in 2012, after which its usage has gradually declined through 2025, where it ranks 10,695th with an incidence of 1 in 284,679. The name remains rare, with no concentrated usage in any particular state. Its appeal lies in its spiritual significance and modern sound, fitting within the trend of Arabic-derived names gaining visibility in English-speaking countries.
Mohid is derived from the Arabic root h-d-y, meaning 'to guide.' It is related to the name Mohsin and the concept of guidance in Islamic theology. The name has been used in various Muslim communities, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East, as a virtue name signifying a leader or one who shows the right path.
