Phirouzeh is Persian in Origin.

Phirouzeh is a Persian feminine name from New Persian fīrūzeh (فیروزه), the word for the gemstone turquoise and the blue‑green color. The term ultimately traces to Middle Persian pērōz/pīrūz, “victorious, fortunate,” reflecting the stone’s protective, triumph‑bringing reputation in Iranian lore and its famed mines around Nishapur. Thus the name carries the dual senses “turquoise” and “victory,” evoking beauty, luck, and resilience. In Persian literature, it also serves as a poetic color term.

Used as a given name in Iran throughout the 20th century, it spread with the diaspora but remains uncommon in Western records. Phirouzeh is a rare transliteration; more typical forms are Firouzeh, Firoozeh, Firozeh, and Firuzeh. Regional variants and cognates include Turkish Firuze, Tajik/Uzbek Firuza, and Arabic Fayruz/Fairuza. Related masculine forms are Piruz/Firuz (Peroz), borne by Sasanian kings.
