Suri has multiple parallel origins. In Persian, suri (سوری) means "red rose" — the flower used in Nowruz (Persian New Year) celebrations. In Hebrew, Suri is a Yiddish diminutive of Sarah, meaning "princess."
The name remains rare in the U.S. but is rising slowly.
Suri does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Suri reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
