Etymology

Compare Central Atlas Tamazight ⴼⴰⵙ (fas)); linked to the region of the Central Atlas Mountains called ْفَازَاز‎ (fāzāz), deriving either from a chronicled بَنُو فَازَازْ‎ (banū fāzāz), ultimately associated with Central Atlas Tamazight ⴰⴼⵣⴰ (afza, “coarse, rough, hard, rocky”). The headwear is derived from Ottoman Turkish فس‎ (fes) coined from the Moroccan city where it was popularized, itself from Arabic فَاس (Fās).
