Fadil

Meaning of Fadil

Fadil is an Arabic masculine name derived from the triliteral root F-D-L, meaning “virtue,” “generosity,” or “excellence.” Pronounced FAH-deel, it offers a clear, balanced sound that aligns with its ethical undertones. In the United States, the name has maintained a modest presence—hovering around the 900th rank in male birth records over the past decade—while retaining strong cultural resonance among families who value its moral associations. Traditionally borne by figures in medieval scholarship and governance, Fadil conveys leadership and learnedness without veering into ostentation. It neither dominates popularity charts nor slips into obscurity, making it a quietly confident choice for parents seeking substance over spectacle.
