Farrah is in Origin.
Farrah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, drawn from farah (فرح), “joy, happiness, rejoicing.” The standard Arabic form is Farah; the double‑r spelling Farrah is an English transliteration that emphasizes a bright, lilting sound. The name appears across Arabic, Persian, and Urdu usage, typically as a virtue name expressing delight and good fortune.
Long established in the Middle East, it gained broad recognition in the Anglophone world through American actress Farrah Fawcett in the 1970s, which sparked a sharp rise in U.S. and U.K. birth records. Related and variant forms include Farah (most common), Fariha/Farihah (“very happy”), and Turkish Ferah (“relief, cheer”). Less common diminutives are Fara and Fari. While predominantly feminine today, Farah has occasional unisex use in Arabic contexts. Farrah carries an upbeat, auspicious meaning that resonates across cultures and languages.
