In all the world, Shaahid (Shaahid 
) is a rare principally masculine, but scarcely feminine forename. The forename Shaahid is characteristic of Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare masculine name, South Africa, where it is a very rare male name, and India, where it is a very rare predominantly male, but very infrequently feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Indonesia, and South Africa. Much less frequently, Shaahid is the last name as well as the forename.
