With its Arabic roots, Fajar is a unique unisex choice carrying profound meaning. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Dawn', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Fajar has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Fajar, like the alternate spelling Fajr, comes from the Arabic root f-j-r, meaning "to break open" or "to dawn." It is translated as "dawn."
