Farhod
Its root means "happiness". Only about 45 men in Poland carry it, and it goes to boys alone, so most people here will never meet a Farhod.

What Farhod means
Where Farhod comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Farhod comes to Polish name registers from far to the east. It is the Central Asian form, common in Tajik and Uzbek, of the Persian name Farhad. The origin here is listed simply as other, outside the Slavic and Latin roots that fill most Polish calendars. The short meaning given is happiness, in Polish szczęście.
Persian tradition also lends the name a face. Farhad is the stonecutter in Nizami's twelfth-century poem "Khosrow and Shirin," a laborer who loves the queen Shirin and cuts through a mountain to prove it. His story ends in grief, so the sense of happiness sits over a name whose most famous bearer found little of it.
A Polish teacher reading Farhod off a class register will meet a spelling with no diminutive and no local variant on file. There is no name-day for it in the church calendar. What the boy carries is the plain gloss, szczęście, and a Persian pedigree that reaches back through Farhad to a poem about a mountain and a chisel.
