Rishaad Origin and Meaning

The name Rishaad is a boy's name.

Rishaad is a masculine name with Arabic and Indian subcontinent origins. It derives from the Arabic word 'rashad' meaning 'guidance,' 'righteousness,' or 'following the correct path.' The name is particularly popular among Muslim communities across South Asia, the Middle East, and in diaspora communities worldwide. Rishaad represents spiritual direction and moral integrity in Islamic tradition. The spelling variation with double 'a' reflects the transliteration commonly found in South Asian Muslim naming practices. While not among the most common names globally, Rishaad has maintained steady usage in Muslim communities. Parents often choose this name hoping their son will lead a life of wisdom, guidance, and moral rectitude.
