Qarib (Arabic and in Persian: قريب, romanized: qarīb) means near or familiar. Gharib (Arabic and Persian: غريب, romanized: ğarīb), written differently, means strange or stranger. Although the pronunciation of the two words vary slightly, the difference is often imperceptible. Both are commonly transliterated into English as "gharib".
