Sura
Meaning of Sura
Sura, an Arabic feminine name pronounced SOO-rah (ˈsuː.ræ), derives from the word for “chapter,” most notably the chapters of the Qur’an, lending it an air of structured reflection and quiet authority. Although rooted in classical Arabic usage, it has maintained a modest presence in the United States since first appearing in the mid-1970s. According to Social Security data, Sura has consistently ranked in the 700–980 range, with a recent high of 27 births in 2023 (rank 931) and 17 in 2024 (rank 933). Its two-syllable form fits contemporary tastes for names that balance brevity and distinctiveness, while its relative rarity ensures a measure of individual distinction without veering into obscurity.
