Afiq

Afiq is a boy name of Arabic origin. The root of the name is the Arabic root "ə-f-q" (أ-ف-ق), which primarily expresses "üfüq", i.e, the farthest visible edge of the sky. From this figurative basis, the name's meaning has come to be 'someone who has reached the highest point of grace, generosity, or knowledge'. In Azerbaijan, this name is also used to mean a healthy, upstanding person.

The name Afiq wishes its bearer qualities such as kindness, generosity and honesty. In the Arabic language tradition, the concept of "üfüq" (horizon) is regarded as the brightest, clearest point of the sky; therefore the name Afiq paints the image of a spiritually elevated person with broad thinking. Azerbaijani families give this name to their children with the wish for a healthy body and pure intentions.

The feminine form of the name is Afiqa. Both forms derive from the same Arabic root, though Afiq is more widely used as a boy's name. The name is often found in Azerbaijan as well as in Malay-speaking Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.
