Meaning
Sarfaraz, explained
Sarfaraz (سرفراز) is a Persian name for boys. It means honoured, head held high.
Is Sarfaraz in the Quran?
No. Sarfaraz 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 Sarfaraz
Say it sar-fa-RAAZ. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Sarfraz. In Arabic it is written with 6 letters, from right to left: س sin + ر ra + ف fa + ر ra + ا alif + ز zay.
Choosing Sarfaraz
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. Sarfaraz has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Sarfaraz bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
