Fuad Bey Çarım
Fuad (Arabic: فؤَاد ''fū’ād, fou’ād'') (also spelled Fouad, Foud, Fuaad or Foad) is a masculine Arabic given name, meaning "heart" - the beating circulating heart, the concept of "mind and spirit". Its root word is the Arabic verb ''fa’ada'' (Arabic: َفَأَد) meaning "burning or a flame" and ''lahmun fa'eed'' - means a "roasted meat on a fire". It is used to describe a "heart that is inflamed with emotion". Therefore, it may share similarities with another Arabic verb ''fada’'' (Arabic: َفَدَى) meaning "to sacrifice" - "to sacrifice, give, risk oneself for (something/ cause)". It was borne by two different Kings of Egypt. Originally an Arabic given name, it became widespread throughout the Middle East during the 9th and 12th centuries.
