About

Fakhoury (فاخوري) is an Arabic surname that was given to families whose line of business was pottery. The word fukhar literally means clay, so pottery craftsmen, or potters, were named Fakhoury.
My name is Ibrahim Fakhoury. I am not a potter, but my great grand father used to be one. My family has lived in Nazareth (Palestine) for over 3 centuries. The Fakhoury family of Nazareth is religion-wise split. There are Muslim and Christian Fakhourys.
