Farouk
Meaning of Farouk
Farouk (fa-ROOK) is an Arabic gem meaning “one who distinguishes truth from falsehood,” a title first bestowed on Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph whose unwavering justice earned him the honorific Al-Farooq. In modern Anglo-American naming circles, this two-syllable marvel blends historical gravitas with effortless pronunciation—no tongue-twisting required. It’s like a compass pointing north in a sea of Liams and Noahs, guiding your little one toward integrity from day one. Though still delightfully uncommon in the U.S.—with roughly ten newborn Farouks each year and a rank nestled around the 900s—its steady presence hints at a quiet, confident comeback. Warm, strong, and memorably unique, Farouk is the perfect pick for parents seeking a name as thoughtful as it is bold.
