From the root h-f-z which has the following classical Arabic connotations:

to preserve, guard, protect
to keep, retain, take care of, tend
to prevent from perishing or becoming lost
to be watchful, mindful, attentive, vigilant
 

This name is used in the Qur’ān. For example, see 11:57

Note that the final letter in Hafīz, the Arabic letter z sounds nothing at all like the English letter z, but rather in Arabic it is a open-jaw “th” sound, although in Farsi and Urdu it is pronounced as a “z”.
