Toufik

Toufik is a male given name of Arabic origin. It is derived from tawfiq, meaning success, providence, or divine assistance. The name conveys the hope that the bearer will receive help from God in achieving a goal.

Variants in spelling include Tawfik, Taufiq, Towfik, Toufik, and Toufiq; in Urdu, Persian, and Turkish contexts the form Taufiq or Towfiq is common. The spelling differences reflect transliteration from Arabic and local phonetic conventions.

Geographically, Toufik is used across the Arab world and in Muslim communities worldwide. It is particularly common in North Africa (for example Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt) and the Levant and Gulf regions, with further presence in South Asia, Europe, and North America due to diaspora communities.

In naming practice, Toufik is primarily a given name rather than a surname, and it is often chosen to honor religious and cultural heritage.

The name remains in use in contemporary Arabic-speaking populations and among communities with Arabic influence.
