Farshid

Farshid (or Farsheed) is one of the most ancient Persian proper names whose philological background could be traced back even in Old Persian scriptures. It consists from two morphemes far ( = splendour, shine) + shîd (= sun, sun beams). In this manner we could translate the Old Persian proper name Farshid/Farsheed as Sunshine or the splendor or the pomp of the sun.

This name is commonly used in Iran.
