Tarez is in Origin.

Tarez is a contemporary spelling most often connected to the Arabic name Ṭāriq (Tariq/Tarek/Tareq), meaning “night visitor” or “he who knocks,” a poetic epithet for the planet Venus as the morning star. The name gained renown through the 8th-century commander Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād and appears in the Qur’anic sura At-Tāriq, which sustained its use across the Arabic-speaking world. The Tarez form arose in diaspora communities in the late 20th century, likely shaped by English phonetics and the fashionable -ez ending.

Usage remains rare but recognizable in North America and Europe, sometimes chosen as a streamlined, cross-cultural update. Variants and related forms include Tariq, Tareq, Tarek, Tarik, and Turkish Tarık; short forms such as Tari also occur. Typically masculine, Tarez can read as unisex in modern naming. Not etymologically Spanish, despite its -ez look.
