Meaning & Origin
Faris is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin meaning 'knight' or 'horseman,' from the Arabic faras (horse). In classical Arabic poetry and culture, the faris was the ideal of chivalrous manhood — brave, skilled, and honorable on horseback.
Faris carries the elegance of medieval Arabic culture, evoking desert poetry and the code of the mounted warrior. It's used across the Arab world and Muslim communities globally, and has a clean, two-syllable sound that works effortlessly in English. A name of noble bearing.
