Could someone please tell me the meaning of the arabic name Tarik?

I just love the sound of this name. Unfortunately, I haven't got a clue what it means. I know for a fact it means something coz I've realised most Arabic names do have a meaning. Thanks.

Could someone please tell me the meaning of the arabic name Tarik?

Reply:Tariq (طـارق) litrally means "knocker" on the door ,but as a name it's taken from the Quran where it was mentioned in the meaning of some kind of a star,some says it's the pulsars which sends it pulses that knock on the atmosphere of earth.
Reply:Tarik it is a name , if you are going to change to a verb it will be "knock" the door, that's correct , But Tarik it's also a man name _ which by the way my uncle's name_ this name it is been written in the holy Quran in Islam, and it's meaning the star , also has another meaning , the person who arrived at night from traveling.


also there's Tarika: it means the tribe , or the small bed.
