Sarfaraz meaning
Sarfaraz (سرفراز) is a Muslim boy's name of Persian origin.
With head held high; exalted, eminent, distinguished
Also used to mean: honoured, victorious
Sarfaraz (سرفراز) is a Persian compound of sar, "head", and farāz, "raised, high": someone whose head is held high. Steingass defines sar-farāz as eminent, exalted or distinguished, and the noun sar-farāzī as grandeur or exaltation; he also lists a less flattering sense, proud or disobedient, which plays no part in the name. Name lists give "honoured", "exalted" or "victorious". The name is used in Muslim families across India and Pakistan; the Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan is a recent Indian bearer.
