覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
アラビア語で「守る・記憶する」に関わる語から生まれ、特にクルアーン全編を暗記した人への称号です。「記憶の中に聖典を守る人」を核にし、人名の Hafiz や詩人 Hafiz を見たら、称号から男性名・固有名詞へ広がった語だと結び付けましょう。
Connect Hafiz with the idea of preserving something through memory. Its Arabic background combines the senses “to guard” and “to memorize,” so a hafiz traditionally guards the Quran by holding the complete text in memory. From this religious title, the word also developed as a masculine personal name. When it is capitalized in literary discussion, Hafiz often refers specifically to the famous fourteenth-century Persian poet. The spelling Hafez is a common alternative transliteration of the same name.

アラビア語の「ḥāfiẓ（守る者・記憶する者）」に由来し、クルアーン全編を暗記した人への尊称。語根ḥ-f-ẓは「守護・保持」を意味する。関連語：Hafsa（女性名）。イスラム文化圏で学識と敬虔さを示す称号として広く用いられる。
Hafiz comes from Arabic ḥāfiẓ, meaning “guardian” or “one who memorizes,” derived from the Semitic root ḥ-f-ẓ, associated with guarding, preserving, and retaining. In Islamic usage, the title is given especially to someone who has memorized the entire Quran. It subsequently became a masculine personal name and is also used in English for the Persian poet whose name is variously written Hafiz or Hafez.
