I think Farax is a native Somali name with no Arabic influence. Many mistake it for it, a common misconception.
Faarax and Farax are two different names it's a female name too and there are variations of male names such as Farxiye or Farxaan that have similar meaning as Farax. What you are talking about is probably ''Faarah'' which is arabic with a different root.

Im not trying to make shit up i think Farxaan is really Somali name, you will hear phrases like 'farxaan kharibneyd' which means horror stricken boat. It probably has soomaali roots. Maybe im wrong i dunno.

There is literally no phonetic distinction between Xeeyle/Xeyle/Xayle. You're grasping at straws.

Farah is originally a Persian name meaning joy/happiness. It was later adopted by the Arabs and finally Somalis, hence, Faarax.

Different pronunciation for Xeeyle and Xayle like farax and faarax.

 

[HalyeeyQaran]

Different pronunciation for Xeeyle and Xayle like farax and faarax.

There's no different pronunciation between the two just different spellings. As I said before, they sound exactly the same. Xeey-/Xay- produce the same sound.
