Farookh is a masculine name with Arabic and Persian roots. It can serve as a fun spin on the Arabic name Faruq, meaning “able to differentiate between truth and falsehood.” This can encourage baby from the very start to keep a shrewd, discerning mind on what they see and hear. Farookh can also be a variant of the Persian Farrooh, meaning “happy” or “joyful.” If you’ve got a love for 70s and 80s rock, this name can connect baby to the iconic singer Freddie Mercury, whose birth name was Farrokh. If you want to encourage baby to find their joy through music, Farookh can make for a melodic choice.
