Taoufik
Tawfik (Arabic: توفيق) or Tawfiq is a masculine given name and surname of Arabic origin. The name is derived from the Arabic root: waaw-faa-qaaf (و-ف-ق), which primarily ‘divine success’. However, it can also mean the following: ‘to agree’, ‘to reconcile’. A spelling of Tewfik or Toufic is used more among French speakers. Since it is considered a "neutral" name in the Arabic language, many Arabic-speaking Christians as well as Muslims are named Tawfik. The Turkish equivalent is Tevfik, the Azerbaijani equivalent is Tofig or Tofiq, the Albanian equivalent is Tefik, the Bosnian equivalent is Teufik. Taoufik and Toufic are common in North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria). Thoufeeque, Thoufeeq, and Thoufeek are common in India. A phonetically similar Jewish name is Tovik or Tuvik (תוביק), a Yiddish diminutive of the Biblical Hebrew name Toviyah, which led to the Greek equivalent Tobias (Τοβίας).
