Name meaning and origin
Faxir derives from the Arabic root fakhr (to boast, to take pride) and carries the meanings of precious, beautiful, radiant, as well as pride-inspiring and praiseworthy. It shares the same root as the widely used names Fakhraddin and Fakhri in Azerbaijan, while its feminine form is recorded as Fakhira.
The name Faxir is not mentioned in the Quran; its root word fakhur (self-satisfied, conceited) is used in verse 18 of Surah Luqman in a negative sense, to describe an arrogant person. This does not change the choice of the name, because Faxir, as an adjective, has always been taken in its positive sense of worth and brilliance and appears on the list of modern Azerbaijani men's names.
