Meaning
Faraz, explained
Faraz (فراز) is a Persian name for boys. It means height, rising up.
Is Faraz in the Quran?
No. Faraz is not a word in the Quran. A name does not need to be in the Quran to be a good Muslim name: what matters is that its meaning is good. The Prophet ﷺ changed names with bad meanings and kept names with good ones.1
How to say and write Faraz
Say it fa-RAAZ. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Fraz. In Arabic it is written with 4 letters, from right to left: ف fa + ر ra + ا alif + ز zay.
Choosing Faraz
A Muslim name does not have to be Arabic. Scholars allow names from any language as long as the meaning is good and the name is not tied to another religion. Faraz has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Faraz bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
