What is the meaning of the name Farrukh ?

Farrukh is Persian in Origin.

Farrukh is a Persian masculine name whose root language is Middle Persian. Its earliest secure form is farrux or farrōx, an adjective meaning fortunate, blessed, happy, or prosperous. The first element is tied to Middle Persian farr, royal or divine glory, ultimately related to Avestan xᵛarənah; the adjectival formation gives the sense of someone endowed with favorable fortune.

The name passed into New Persian as Farrokh/Farrukh and entered Urdu, Indo-Persian, and Central Asian naming through Persian literary and court culture. It appears as both a given name and a laudatory epithet; Farrokhi Sistani, the eleventh-century Persian poet, shows the same lexical base in a nisba-style form. Mughal usage is represented by Farrukhsiyar, emperor of India from 1713 to 1719. Modern use remains chiefly among Iranian, Pakistani, Afghan, and Central Asian Muslim communities.
