Haqq (Arabic: حقّ, romanized: Ḥaqq, Bengali: হক, হক্ব, হক্ক, romanized: Hoq) is a surname of Arabic origin commonly found in the Indian subcontinent but also in other parts of the Muslim world.
Etymology
Haqq originates from the Arabic word for truth or reality. It is commonly used as a suffix of a personal name. Al-Haqq (The Ultimate Reality) is one of the Names of God in Islam, and used in the second half of a compound name, commonly succeeding Abd or Abdul to make Abdul Haq. This specific compound name, means "servant of the Truth", and gives rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2]
