Faraz meaning
Faraz (فراز) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin.
Above, aloft; a summit, height; exalted
Also used to mean: elevation
Faraz (فراز) is the Persian farāz, an adverb and noun with a long list of meanings in Steingass's dictionary: above, up, aloft and on the top; the ascent or summit of a mountain; height or altitude; and, as an adjective, exalted. Name lists give "height", "elevation" or "exalted", which match these senses. The word is not Arabic and does not occur in the Quran, but it has long been used as a name by Muslim families in India and Pakistan. It is linked especially to the Urdu poet Ahmad Faraz (1931–2008), whose pen name it was.
