Waheeda meaning
Waheeda (وحیدہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
Alone, single; unique, incomparable
Also used to mean: matchless, peerless
Waheeda (وحیدہ) is the feminine of Arabic waḥīd, from the root w-ḥ-d, "one", which also gives wāḥid, "one", and tawḥīd, the oneness of God. Lane's lexicon gives waḥīd as alone or by oneself, and Platts's Urdu dictionary adds unique, singular and incomparable, with phrases such as waḥīd-e dahr, "the phoenix of the age". Name lists give Waheeda as "unique" or "matchless", the sense found in Urdu. In India the name is loved through Waheeda Rehman, one of the great actresses of Hindi cinema.
