Saqr (Arabic صقر, commonly transliterated Ṣaqr) is a masculine Arabic given name meaning “falcon,” a potent emblem in Arab culture of sharp vision, courage, and nobility. The name occurs throughout the Middle East and North Africa, with particular resonance in the Gulf due to the deep traditions of falconry; it has been borne by regional rulers such as Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi of Ras Al Khaimah and Saqr bin Sultan Al Qasimi of Sharjah.
