Tareck Origin and Meaning

The name Tareck is a boy's name.

Tareck is a masculine name with Arabic and Persian influences, representing a variant spelling of Tarek or Tariq. The name originates from Arabic "طارق" (Tariq), meaning "morning star" or "he who knocks at the door." Historically, it references Tariq ibn Ziyad, the 8th-century Berber general who led the Muslim conquest of Visigothic Hispania. This alternative spelling with 'ck' adds a contemporary touch while maintaining the name's traditional roots. While not ranking among top names in Western countries, Tareck has moderate usage in Middle Eastern countries, North Africa, and among Muslim communities worldwide. The name conveys strength, leadership, and cultural heritage.
