Meaning and origin of Rafik
Rafik is the spelling of Rafīq favoured by French-speaking Muslims and in Lebanon and North Africa. Its root, r-f-q, means to be gentle and to keep someone company, so the name describes a companion and kind friend; the meaning 'exalted' sometimes given for it is mistaken. Rafik Hariri, who served as prime minister of Lebanon, was one well-known bearer. Turkish speakers write the same name Refik.
