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

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

Fazal, like the more common spelling Fadl, comes from the Arabic root f-d-l, meaning "grace" or virtue.
