Hamid

Hamid is an Arabic name, derived from one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam — Al-Hamid. Meaning "praiseworthy", it is therefore a name with religious significance.

Alternative forms of the name include Hameed, Hamit, and Hamed, though this latter option can also be a distinct name, pronounced HA-med or HA-meed rather than ha-MEED. In this case it would mean "praiser" rather than "praiseworthy".

Pronounced hah-MEED.

As of October 2026, Hamid ranked #5467 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2443 in 1983.
