Fuad (Arabic: َفؤَاد fū’ād, fou’ād) (also spelled Fouad, Foud, Fuaad or Foad) is a masculine Arabic given name, meaning "heart"[1][2][3]—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, meaning a "roasted meat on a fire". It is used to describe a "heart that is inflamed with emotion".[1] Therefore, it may share similarities with another Arabic verb fada’ (َ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.
