Tariq
“From the Arabic root "ṭ-r-q" meaning to knock, to strike, or the morning star that knocks at the door of night, Tariq evokes the brilliance of a star that pierces darkness.

“From the Arabic root "z-b-d" meaning butter, cream, or the best and choicest part of something — conveying the richness of the finest thing.

Zuleikha
“From Arabic "Zulaykha", of uncertain etymology — possibly from an Aramaic or Coptic root. In Islamic and Persian literary tradition, Zuleikha is the name given to Potiphar's wife (unnamed in the Bible) who falls in love with the prophet Yusuf (Joseph) and attempts to seduce him — her story was famously retold by the Persian poet Jami in "Yusuf and Zulaikha" as a Sufi allegory of the soul's love for God.”
Karim

The name is widely used across the Arab world, North Africa, and in French-speaking Muslim communities, making it common in contemporary French literary fiction.”
