Tariq (also transliterated as Tarik, Tarek, Tareq, Tarec, Tarique, or Tarık, or Tirik" Arabic: طارق, Ṭāriq) is an Arabic male given name, common in the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Europe.
Etymology
The word is derived from the Arabic verb (Arabic: طرق, ṭariq) meaning to strike, and into the doer form (Arabic: طارق, ṭaarik) meaning striker.
It started to get used as a name after Tariq ibn-Ziyad, a military leader who conquered Spain for the Moors.
Literature
In Arabic literature, the use of the word appears in several places including most-notably the Qur'an, where ṭāriq referred to the brilliant stars at night in (At-Tariq, verse 1).[1] Stars can be eloquently referred to as Tariq because it comes out at night,[2] and it is the common understanding of the word nowadays due to the Qur'an.
We can also find it in many poems. For example, from the famous poets Imru' al-Qais and Jarir ibn Atiyah.[3]
