Fouad
An Arabic name meaning "heart". Only about 60 men in Poland carry it and none has been given in over twenty years, so most Poles will never meet a Fouad.
Fouad Pronunciation
Fouad is pronounced fo-OO-aht (/fɔˈuat/).
What Fouad means
Where Fouad comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Fouad comes from the Arabic word fu'ad, the heart. In classical Arabic the word reaches past the muscle in the chest. It names the inner heart, the seat of feeling and of courage. The plural form, af'ida, appears in the Quran. The short meaning stays simple: heart. In Polish, serce.
The name has a documented royal bearer. Fuad I ruled Egypt as sultan and then as king, from 1917 until his death in 1936. His son Farouk took the throne after him. Through that reign the spelling Fuad grew familiar well beyond Cairo.
There is no Polish diminutive for it, no local variant. On a school class register in Poland the name would stand alone. It stays Fouad, and it means heart.
