Masumeh is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Masumeh is a Persian transliteration of Arabic Ma‘sūmah (معصومة), from the root ʿ-ṣ-m “to guard, protect,” meaning “innocent, infallible, safeguarded from sin.” In Persian it’s commonly written معصومه and pronounced “mah-SOO-meh.” The name carries strong devotional overtones in Shi‘i Muslim cultures.
Its cultural prominence stems from Fāṭimah al‑Ma‘sūmah (d. 816), sister of the eighth Imam, ‘Alī al‑Riḍā; her shrine in Qom helped spread the name across Iran from the medieval period onward. Variants include Masoumeh, Ma‘soumeh, Massoumeh (Persian), and Masuma, Masooma, Ma‘suma (Arabic/Urdu). Related male forms are Ma‘sūm/Masum (“innocent”). Diminutives such as Sumi or Soma appear in South Asian use. The name remains common in Iran, Iraq, and the wider Persianate world, and is occasionally adopted in diaspora communities for its blend of piety, softness of sound, and classical Arabic-Persian heritage.
