Ferid, a Turkish rendering of Farid, comes from the Arabic root f-r-d, meaning "to be unique" or "singular."

Etymology

The Turkish form of the Arabic farid, 'unique, matchless.'

Notable Historical Usage

Turkish adopted a Latin alphabet in 1928, replacing the Arabic script in which Ottoman Turkish had been written. Names carried in from Arabic and Persian were respelled to Turkish sound and spelling, which is why the same name appears in a Turkish form quite unlike its Arabic one.
