Faraz

Meaning of Faraz

Faraz is a masculine name of Persian origin, derived from a term meaning “elevation” or “summit.” Historically linked to classical Persian poetry, it conveys ambition and lofty ideals. Its concise, two-syllable pronunciation—fah-RAHZ (/fɑˈrɑz/)—balances clarity with distinction. In the United States, Faraz has maintained a modest but persistent presence in naming charts since the late 1970s, typically ranking between the 700th and 900th positions and registering eight births in 2024. Though it has never topped the lists, it has scarcely vanished, demonstrating a stable niche appeal among parents drawn to names with cultural depth and straightforward articulation. Within Anglo-American contexts, Faraz provides an exotic flourish while remaining comfortably familiar in sound.
