Farshid (or Farsheed) is one of the most ancient[1] Persian proper names whose philological background could be traced back to 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'.[2] This name is commonly used in Iran.
