Faryal (فریال) is a girl's name used in Pakistan, India and the wider Muslim world. Its usual explanation is a Persian compound of far, which Steingass defines as beauty, splendour and brilliance, and yāl, the neck or a horse's mane, giving "one with a beautiful neck". The compound itself is not in the dictionary. Many name lists instead give Faryal as "angel", "beautiful" or "precious"; we could not find a source for these, so they are best treated as modern meanings.
