Origin:

Name Root:
ʈáraqa > Ṭāriq
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Arabic “ʈáraqa > Ṭāriq”, meaning “to strike, striker, who knocks at the door, one that passes by”. It’s used specifically for the one who travels at night time; a night visitor. It refers to someone who comes in the middle of the night and knocks on the door. The essential linguistic idea behind it is that which comes at night and calls attention. However, in Arabic literature, the use of the word appears in the Qur’an, where Tāriq referred to a brilliant star at night, which leads the way: “Nightcomer or star of piercing brightness” (At-Tariq, verse 3).
