Shakib (Persian: شکیب, romanized: Šakīb, lit. 'patience') and, Sakib (Arabic: ثَاقِب, romanized: Ṯāqib, lit. 'piercing') are two male given names. Shakib comes from Persian word for patience (Persian: شکیبائی, romanized: Šakībâ'i, lit. 'patience') and, Sakib comes from Arabic which means "Piercing".[1]
The word "Ṯāqibu" is mentioned in the Quran in the chapter of At-Tariq, verse 3.
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
al-najmu al-ṯāqibu
(It is) the star of piercing (brightness).— Third verse, Sura Aṭ-Ṭāriq
The name is often mistranslated as "Star",[2] due to being used as the adjective of "star" (Arabic: نجم, romanized: Najm) in the aforementioned verse. It has also been used as a surname.
