Farshid (or Farsheed) is a Persian proper name. 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.
