Masoumi is a Persian nisba formed from the Arabic maʿṣūm (معصوم), “innocent, protected from sin, infallible.” Adding the -i yields the sense “of the innocent/infallible,” “related to one who is maʿṣūm.” It appears across Persian, Dari, and Urdu contexts, where the ʿayn is often dropped in Latin transcription, producing Masoumi.

More common as a family name in Iran and the wider Persianate world, Masoumi also occurs as a unisex given name, especially among Shiʿa families. The form can signal devotion to the maʿṣūmīn (“the Infallibles”) - Muhammad, Fāṭimah, and the Twelve Imams - and is associated with the shrine of Fāṭimah al-Maʿṣūmah in Qom. Variants and spellings include Masumi, Masoomi, Ma’sumi; related given names are Masum/Masoom (masculine) and Masoumeh/Masumeh (feminine). In Tajik it appears as Masumī.
