The daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who seem to be actors, has been named Suri. On the BBC website I found:

"The baby's name, Suri, came from Hebrew, meaning "princess" or in Persian, meaning "red rose", the statement said."

This seems improbable, since Persian is an IE language to my knowledge and Hebrew obviously Semitic. Suri could perhaps be a distorted version of Sarah ... but the red rose defeats me! Any ideas?

  • It is most likely derived from the French "souris" ! nt - Pavlos  Apr 19 2006, 1:07:17 AM
