Suri

Meaning of Suri

Suri zips onto the scene like a pocket-size firework—two breezy syllables that sparkle in Hebrew as “princess,” blush in Persian as “red rose,” and glow in Sanskrit with a sun-kissed hint of “wisdom.” Ever since Hollywood royalty Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes bestowed it on their daughter in 2006, the name has danced up the U.S. charts, then settled into that Goldilocks sweet spot: familiar enough to elicit smiles, rare enough to feel like a secret garden. She shares the fashionable -ee ending of Ruby and Zoe, yet carries a dash of exotic spice; picture a rose-petal tiara on a fearless little explorer. And in case you’re wondering—no, it doesn’t rhyme with “sorry”; Suri is far too confident to apologize for her charm.
