Faissal Origin and Meaning

The name Faissal is a boy's name.

Faissal is an Arabic masculine name primarily used in North Africa and the Middle East, representing a variant spelling of Faisal or Faysal. Derived from the Arabic word meaning "judge" or "one who decides," it carries connotations of wisdom, fairness, and authority. The name gained international recognition through several prominent royal figures, including King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and King Faisal I of Iraq. This particular spelling with double 's' is less common than the single 's' version but preserves the same pronunciation and cultural significance. Faissal remains moderately popular among Arabic-speaking communities worldwide, appreciated for its regal associations and strong, positive meaning.
