Meaning of Afif
Afif is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “chaste”, “virtuous”, “modest”, “righteous”. It is derived from the AIN-F-F root which is used in a number of places in the Quran.
Alms are for the poor who are restricted in the way of Allah, disabled from going about in the land. The unknowing takes them for the affluent because of their modesty. (Quran 2:273)

In the Netherlands, people spell it in two different ways:
1. Afief: as the ‘ie’ is pronounced /i:/. This is the correct phonetic way to spell it in Dutch
2. Aviv: as the ‘v’ is pronounced as /f/. This is derived from the spelling of Tel Aviv.

My name is Farhan but my family calls me “Afif”. To be honest, I used to dislike this nickname when I was little but now, I wanna use it all the time, especially after realizing that it means “chaste”!
