Excerpt from the source................
Fujairah
The premise that the word Fujaira is derived from Fujoor (or libertinism) is very unlikely, says Obaid, because then the name would have been well documented. He sees the most likely root as linked to tafajur, which refers to "the bursting of water from the ground". This makes more sense, he says, since the area is rich in valleys.
On the other hand, Al Budoor speculates the name possibly means "light".

Check the link below...but here's a copy and paste directly from wiki:
Fujairah (Arabic: الفجيرة) is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, on the Gulf of Oman in the country's east.
