Fərid

Fərid Origin and Meaning

The name Fərid is a boy's name.

Fərid is a masculine name primarily used in Azerbaijani culture, though variants are found throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. The name derives from Arabic origins meaning "unique," "exceptional," or "precious." The specific spelling with the schwa symbol (ə) reflects Azerbaijani pronunciation and writing conventions. In broader Islamic traditions, Farid (the more common transliteration) connects to Sufi spirituality, where it can reference someone who stands alone in their spiritual devotion. The name carries connotations of individuality and distinction, celebrating someone who stands out from others. While common in Azerbaijan, it remains relatively uncommon in Western countries.
