Taariq

The name Taariq is of Arabic origins and it is traditionally used by parents who are looking for a name for their son. It has been derived from the Arabic Tariq, meaning ‘one who knocks at the door’. In the Arabic language, the term is generally used to refer to the stars in the night sky or for someone visiting in the middle of the night. A variant of the name has also been mentioned in The Quran, the central religious text of Islam, where Tariq refers to a brilliant star in the night sky. According to these origins, the meaning of Taariq is interpreted to be 'knocker', ‘one who visits at night', 'striker', ‘visitor’, or ‘a star’.
