Meaning and origin of Rebaz
Rebaz is a Kurdish name built on rê, road or way, one of the most basic words in Kurdish. As the compound rêbaz, it means a path, a method or the approach a person takes, closer to 'way of doing things' or 'course of action' than to a physical road. As a name it suggests direction, principle and someone who follows a clear and upright path in life. The idea is similar to the Arabic words manhaj and ṭarīqa, both of which describe a chosen way.
Rebaz belongs to the wave of Kurdish-language names that became popular in Iraqi Kurdistan from the later twentieth century, as families increasingly chose Kurdish words rather than Arabic names for their sons. It is most common among Sorani speakers, especially around Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, and in the Kurdish diaspora in Europe. In the Arabic-based Kurdish alphabet it is written ڕێباز, with letters that mark the strong rolled r and the long ê. In Latin script it may appear as Rêbaz or Rebaz, and it is pronounced ray-BAHZ.
