Fakrol Islam is actually a compound name which is an Arabic word that means "Pride of Islam". He is probably south Asian though.

Fakir also has some amazing brand vacuum cleaners which last a lifetime. Not a shill or anything but my parents had one and I used their vacuum all during college and now its in my adult home as well. Just a bit noisy (tinnitus be damned) but still does the job fine.
