Faiqa meaning
Faiqa (فائقہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
Superior, excellent, surpassing; of a woman, excelling in beauty
Also used to mean: outstanding
Faiqa (فائقہ) is the feminine of Arabic fāʾiq, from the root f-w-q, "to be above, to surpass". Lane's lexicon defines fāʾiq as superior, excellent or surpassing, anything choice and pure of its kind, and quotes jāriya fāʾiqa, "a young woman excelling in beauty". From the same root comes fawq, "above". The boy's name Faiq is the masculine form. Name lists give Faiqa as "excellent", "superior" or "outstanding", matching the dictionary. It is a girl's name used by Muslims in Pakistan and India.
