Meaning and origin of Imtiyaz
Imtiyaz keeps the 'y' sound in the middle of the Arabic imtiyāz, so it sits closer to the original than the better-known Imtiaz. The word speaks of excellence that marks someone out, from a root about separating one thing from another. Arabic speakers today use it in daily life for a privilege or for a top grade on an exam. As a personal name, though, it lives mostly in India and Pakistan.
