Tawhid is a distinctive name of Arabic origin, deeply rooted in Islamic theology. It entered U.S. naming records in 2008, reflecting a modern adoption of religiously significant names. With a rank of 6,803 in 2025 and an incidence of 1 in 142,340 births, it remains uncommon. Its popularity has been rising since 2012, reaching a peak in 2019.

Tawhid represents a meaningful choice that honors a core tenet of faith.

Tawhid is derived from the Arabic root w-h-d, meaning 'one, single.' In Islamic theology, it signifies the absolute oneness and uniqueness of God, the central tenet of the faith.
