Pouri is Persian in Origin.
Pouri has multiple cultural roots. In Māori and Tahitian, pōuri means “darkness, deep shade; sorrow,” a poetic term for night or solemn mood; as a given name it is rare but attested, used for its evocative, nature-linked tone. Spellings vary by orthography: Pōuri (with macron), Po‘uri or Poʻuri (Tahitian), and Pouri without diacritics.
In Persian, Pouri (پوری) is used chiefly as a feminine name. It is often treated as a pet form or variant of Pourān (پوران) - a name associated with the Sasanian royal line and the queen Pourandokht - and many modern speakers connect it to por “full, abundant,” giving the sense of “plentiful” or “bountiful.” It also sits near the Middle Persian name element pūr/pour “descendant,” seen in compounds. Related names and variants include Poori, Puri, Pouran/Pouran-dokht, and the masculine Pourya/Poorya.
