Around the globe, ﻧﺎﻫﺪ (ﻧﺎﻫﺪ 
) is a rare dominantly female, but uncommonly masculine first name. The first name ﻧﺎﻫﺪ is characteristic of Northern Africa, particularly Sudan, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and Egypt, where it is a very rare feminine name. Much less frequently, ﻧﺎﻫﺪ is the last name as well as the forename.
