The name Fawad is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Heart', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

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

Fawad comes from the Arabic root f-'-d, the same root behind "fu'ad" (heart). The Quran (53:11) uses this word describing the Prophet ﷺ's own heart: "the heart did not lie about what it saw."

Notable Historical Usage

From the tenth century Persian became the literary and courtly language of the eastern Islamic world, carried by the Samanid, Ghaznavid, Seljuk, Timurid and Mughal courts and used in administration as far as Bengal. Its vocabulary of light, garden and heart supplied given names across that whole reach, alongside the Arabic religious stock, and still does.
