Fahed

Meaning of Fahed

Fahed is an Arabic masculine name meaning leopard or panther, evoking strength, agility and a quiet nobility. Pronounced FAH-hed (/fɑːhɛd/), the name’s two-syllable structure offers clarity and balance. Rooted in Arabic-speaking regions, Fahed carries centuries of cultural resonance while maintaining relative rarity in the United States: annual usages since the early 2000s have ranged from five to twelve newborns, with twelve registrations in 2024 placing it near the 900th rank. Such modest presence means a teacher is unlikely to call roll for more than one Fahed in any given class, offering parents a distinctive yet accessible choice that honors tradition without courting overuse.
