Toufiq

Toufiq is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, a variant of Tawfiq. It derives from tawfiq, an Arabic noun meaning success, providence, or divine enabling. In Islamic usage, tawfiq denotes the divine enabling that makes achievement possible, and the name is often chosen to express a wish for guidance and success in the bearer’s endeavors.

The name is widely used among Muslim communities across the world. It is common in South Asia, particularly in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and parts of India, as well as in the Arab world, North Africa, and Central Asia. It is also found in diaspora communities in Europe and North America.

Spelling and transliteration vary by language and country. Common forms include Tawfiq, Tawfik, and Taufiq in Arabic-speaking contexts; Tevfik in Turkish; Tofig in Azerbaijani; Taufik or Toufik in Indonesian and Malay; and Toufiq in Bengali- and South Asian communities.

In naming practice, Toufiq is typically a given name for boys. It is one of many names derived from the root meaning to grant success and is often chosen for its positive meaning and religious resonance.
