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."
Suri entered American pop culture in 2006 when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes named their daughter Suri. The name remains rare in the U.S. but is rising slowly.
Suri reduces to one — the number of red rose.
