Most likely just an international word from Ancient Greek φώκη (phṓkē, seal), perhaps with this form in Arabic potentially influenced by فُقْم (fuqm) in the sense of a dog's muzzle. Compare the by-name كَلْبُ البَحْرِ (kalbu l-baḥri, sea lion, seal, literally dog of the sea) as the Arabs, among other cultures, connect pinnipeds visually with canines.
