Meaning and origin of Faridullah
Faridullah is a compound of two Arabic words: farīd, meaning unique, matchless or one of a kind, and Allāh. Farīd comes from the root f-r-d, to be single or alone, and in Arabic it was used for a precious gem set apart from the rest of a necklace. Joined with Allah, the name is usually explained as 'the unique one of God' or 'one made precious by God', expressing that the child is a rare gift. Because such compounds are not formed in classical Arabic, the exact grammatical sense is a matter of interpretation rather than a fixed dictionary definition.
Compound names with -ullah are a hallmark of naming in Afghanistan and the Pashtun regions of Pakistan, where forms such as Rahmatullah, Hamidullah and Faridullah are very common. The name is used by Pashtuns, Tajiks and other Afghan communities and in their diaspora. In English it may appear as Faridullah, Fareedullah or as two words, Farid Ullah, depending on how official records were written. Friends and relatives often shorten it in daily life to Farid.
