This is Arabic broken into English- the name in the military transliteration guide is written Abu Faqir, vowels are almost interchangeable when written so it was standardized - I will use the spelling used above. It is supposed to be two words. The combination Kh is guttural when pronounced, which isn't used in English.
The name is not a real name- it's a nick name meaning father of fakher, fakher is the only son or oldest son- whichever is first.
Abou means father of in Arabic: Ah-boo:
A is pronounced as a in father, bou is pronounced like boo which rhymes with who.
