An abbreviation that typically stands for 'behind' or in business contexts 'berhad' (a Malaysian term for limited liability company).
As an abbreviation, 'bhd' has multiple origins: 'behind' from English, or 'berhad' from Malay بڠ (benghal), used in Malaysian company names to indicate limited liability status similar to 'Ltd.' in English.
In Malaysian English, you'll see company names like 'Petronas Bhd' or 'Maybank Bhd'—the 'Bhd' is instantly recognizable and functions exactly like 'Ltd.' in British English or 'Inc.' in American English, showing how different English-speaking countries maintain their own corporate naming conventions.
