Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Arabic root ู-ุฑ-ู‚ (f-r-q, 'to distinguish'). Al-Farouq is a title traditionally associated with Umar ibn al-Khattab.

Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
