Fakhr, also fakhar or faḵr (), is an Arabic word, literally meaning  "pride", "honor", "glory".

It is also used as a technical term in Arabic literature. Literary term
In traditional Arabic poetry, fakhr denotes a genre or topos comprising boasting or self-praise, often opening with the excalamation known as wāw rubba. In fakhr passages, a poet may praise his tribe or other group, or the praise may be of an individual, particularly the martial success, magnanimity, and strength of the poet himself. In the qaṣīda form of poetry, personal praise tends to appear in the raḥīl ("travel") section; praise of a group tend to appear as the end of the qaṣīda. Notable people named Fakhr
