Farrah is Arabic and it means ‘happiness’. The proper Arabic pronunciation of it is /fæ’ræhh/ with the h at the end being stressed. Iran’s queen before the revolution in 1979 was named Farah Pahlavi. Two English pronunciations have been proposed: /‘fɑːrə/ and less frequently/‘ferə/ with no pronunciation of h at the end as h is not normally articulated after vowels in English.

Other Arabic words which are in the same family as farah are as follows:
ta’freeh = having a good time
mufa’rrah = causing happiness.
