Tarreq Origin and Meaning

The name Tarreq is a boy's name.

Tarreq is a masculine name variation of the Arabic name Tariq or Tarek, which means 'morning star' or 'he who knocks at the door.' The name has significant historical importance in Islamic culture, as Tariq ibn Ziyad was the Berber general who led the Muslim conquest of Spain in 711 CE. Gibraltar is named after him (Jabal Tariq, or 'Mountain of Tariq'). This alternative spelling with double 'r' gives the name a unique touch while maintaining its rich heritage. Tarreq combines strength and brightness in its meaning, symbolizing guidance and new beginnings. Though less common than the traditional spelling, it offers a distinctive option for parents seeking a name with historical depth.
