Shahd
Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shahd: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2021.
Originating from Arabic, Shahd means “hone” or “honeycomb,” evoking sweetness and purity. Though uncommon in Scotland, it is a cherished name across the Middle East and among Muslim communities worldwide. A well-known bearer is Shahd El-Husseini, a contemporary Egyptian actress; the name also appears in Syrian popular culture through singer Shahd El-Houssami. There is no direct place connection to Scotland, but the name’s root is unrelated to any geographic place. A notable variant is Shahad, which shares the same meaning and is occasionally used in Arabic-speaking countries. For Scottish parents drawn to nature-inspired names with a soft, lyrical sound, Shahd offers a delicate yet distinctive choice that bridges cultures.
