Tawheed
A boy's name of Arabic origin with 21 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Tawheed, you're looking at a name that fewer than 21 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The sharp, distinct ending gives Tawheed a direct, strong feel that works well in both playground and boardroom.
Tawheed is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Tawheed (also spelled Tawhid) is an Arabic name derived from the root wahhada, meaning "to unify" or "to make one." In Islamic theology, tawhid is the foundational doctrine of the oneness of God — the most essential concept in the faith.
As a given name, Tawheed carries profound religious meaning. It is a declaration of faith in name form, common in Muslim families who wish to instill a sense of divine unity and monotheistic belief from the very beginning of a child's life.
EtymologyShow more
In the American context, Tawheed is a boy's name with a focused stretch of recorded use (2013–2023). Its Arabic roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
With 21 total births, Tawheed exists at the edges of the American naming landscape — a name known primarily to the families who carry it, giving it an intensely personal character.
