Dictionary Meaning
What Fawaz means
The most successful, the great winner, the one who attains the great salvation — intensive form of fa'iz, from the root ف-و-ز (faza — to succeed, to win, to attain). The Quran uses this root throughout to describe the ultimate success: salvation in the Hereafter, entry into Paradise.
The phrase al-fawz al-azim ('the great success') appears repeatedly in the Quran as the description of the Garden — used at least fourteen times. The masculine plural al-faizun is used for those who escape the Fire and enter Paradise: 'Indeed, those are the successful' (23:111, 24:52, 59:20, etc.). The intensified form fawwaz denotes the man who succeeds repeatedly, who attains again and again the success Allah promises His believers.
Fawaz emerged in the modern Arab world as a popular boys name carrying this Quranic resonance. Top Saudi, Gulf, Levantine, and Egyptian boys name. Variants: Fawaz, Fawwaz, Fauwaz, Fauz. The Arabic is فَوَّاز.
