Fouad
 (Arabic: فؤَاد fū’ād, fou’ād) (also spelled Foud, Fuaad or Foad) is a masculine Arabic given name, meaning "heart"
 - the beating circulating heart, the concept of "mind and spirit".
 
Its root word is the Arabic verb fa’ada (Arabic: َفَأَد) meaning "burning or a flame" and lahmun fa'eed - means a "roasted meat on a fire". It is used to describe a "heart that is inflamed with emotion".

Therefore, it may share similarities with another Arabic verb fada’ (Arabic: َفَدَى) meaning "to sacrifice" - "to sacrifice, give, risk oneself for (something/ cause)".
It was borne by two different Kings of Egypt.
 
Originally an Arabic given name, it became widespread throughout the Middle East during the 9th and 12th centuries.
