Rasheem
Meaning of Rasheem
Rasheem is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, generally understood as a phonetic variant of “Rashīd,” which derives from the triliteral root R-SH-D denoting “rightly guided” or “wise.” Its distinctive double-ee spelling mirrors the long vowel sound of the original Arabic while conforming to English orthographic conventions. In the United States, Rasheem has maintained a relatively steady, albeit uncommon, presence in the Social Security baby‐name data—hovering between ranks 700 and 930 since the early 1970s—indicating modest but consistent usage. Technically precise yet culturally resonant, the name bridges Middle Eastern naming traditions with Anglo-American practices, offering parents an analytically grounded choice that carries both linguistic authenticity and cross-cultural appeal.
