Faiz is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic fāʾiz, meaning 'victorious' or 'successful, triumphant' — a name that declares its bearer one who achieves his goals and comes through victorious.
With over 548 recorded births, Faiz is used across the Arab world and in South Asian Muslim communities. Faiz Ahmad Faiz (1911–1984), the Pakistani poet whose Urdu and Punjabi poetry blended romantic lyricism with progressive political consciousness, and whose poem 'Hum Dekhenge' (We Shall See) became an anthem of resistance, is the name's most culturally celebrated bearer. His poetry is among the most sung and quoted in the Urdu-speaking world.
