Huq

Huq is a surname and, less commonly, a given name used among Bengali-speaking Muslim communities in South Asia. The spelling Huq is one of several transliterations of a name that in many cases traces back to the Arabic word haqq, meaning truth, right, or justice. Other common romanizations include Haque, Haqq, and Haq, reflecting variations in transliteration from Bengali and Urdu.

The name is most widely found in the Bengal region, particularly in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, and among the Bengali-speaking diaspora worldwide. As a family name, Huq does not denote a specific caste or profession; rather, it is a patronymic-style surname carried across generations within diverse families and communities.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Huq have appeared in fields such as academia, politics, literature, science, and public service, in Bangladesh, India, and abroad. The name is established as a common Bengali Muslim surname rather than tied to a particular historical role.

Variants and related forms of the name include Haque and Haqq, which may be encountered in similar communities and contexts due to transliteration differences. In some cases, the name may be adopted in given-name positions or appear in different orders depending on cultural and administrative conventions.
