Tawfik (), or Tewfik, is an Arabic masculine given name. The name is derived from the Arabic root: waaw-faa-qaaf (), which means to agree or to reconcile. Tawfik translates to, "the ability or opportunity to achieve success". A spelling of Tewfik or Toufic is used more among French speakers. Tawfik can be used as a given name or surname. Since it is considered a "neutral" name in the Arabic language, many Arabic-speaking Christians as well as Muslims are named Tawfik. The Turkish equivalent is Tevfik, the Azerbaijani equivalent is Tofig or Tofiq, the Albanian equivalent is Tefik, the Bosnian equivalent is Teufik. The Hebrew equivalent is Tovik or Tuvik (). Tawfik has a similar meaning to the Greek Tobias (). Taoufik and Toufic are common in North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria). Thoufeeq and Thoufeek are common in India.
