sihid

Sihid is a term that appears in limited or uncertain usage across languages, and it does not have a single, established meaning in major reference works. It most likely derives from the Arabic shahid (شهيد), meaning "witness" or "martyr." In Malay and Indonesian, the related form syahid is common for martyr, with various spellings; 'sihid' may be encountered as a transliteration variant or misspelling.

Usage and references vary by context. In religious or historical writing, shahid denotes someone who dies as a martyr, with the precise sense depending on tradition. In other contexts, sihid may appear as a personal name or surname in communities influenced by Arabic or Malay naming practices, though it is not among the most widely used given names.

Because of its uncertain status, it is best to consult the specific source to determine intended meaning when encountering the term.
