:"This is about the name. For people known by the name, see Khurshid (disambiguation)." Khurshid or Khursheed (خورشيد) is a commonly used Persian name, meaning sun mostly in Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and India. The name derives from Middle Persian "Khwarshed", which is in turn a contraction of Avestan "Hvare Khshaeta" "Radiant Sun."

While mostly prominent among the Muslims, "Khurshid" is also a common first name among the Parsis of India and Pakistan.

Both males and female bear it as a given name.
