Section 4 · What Families Say
What People Usually Mean by This Name
Fariz (فارز) comes from the Arabic root ف-ر-ز, to separate out, to distinguish, to set apart from a group as exceptional. The classical lexicons preserve fāriz as the active participle: the one who is doing the distinguishing, or, passively, the one who has been distinguished. As a given name, it carries the meaning of one who stands out from his peers by quality.
The name is most common in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the wider Southeast Asian Muslim community, where it has been a top-fifty boys' name for the past two decades. The Persianate variant Faraz (different etymology, meaning 'height') is more common in Iran and Pakistan. Notable bearers include Fariz Hassan, the Malaysian musician, and Fariz RM, the Indonesian singer-songwriter known for his pioneering work in 1980s Indonesian pop. The name belongs to a wider Southeast Asian Muslim taste for short Arabic-rooted masculine names with abstract virtuous meanings.
