Priyur is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Priyur is a modern, multicultural given name found chiefly in South Asian communities. Its structure points to the Sanskrit root priya, meaning “beloved” or “dear,” combined with the Dravidian/Tamil element ur/oor, “village, home, place”, a component common in South Indian toponyms and occasionally adapted into personal names. Taken together, Priyur can be read as “beloved of the home” or “dear to the community.” Some also treat it as a creative coinage echoing Priya and Yur/Yuri names, a phonetic resemblance rather than a proven etymology.

Usage is recent, with most records appearing from the late 20th century onward; it remains uncommon and appeals to parents seeking a distinctive, cross-regional name. The name is typically masculine but can be used unisex. Variants and spellings include Priyoor, Priyūr (with long u), and Priyuur; related forms are Priya, Priyank, and Priyush.
