Faris is a bold, daring boy's name of Arabic origin. Borrowed from the words fāris and furusiyya, it translates to "knight," "horseman," or "cavalier,” inspiring a warrior's spirit in your little one as they brace themselves for life's many battles. As a Scottish name, Faris shares a similar meaning and flows from Fearghus, whose elements fear and gus indicate "vigor" and "force." Steeped in the strength of a true soldier, baby is bound to kick butt with this beast of a name!
