Ruz is Breton in Origin.

Ruz is a compact Persian name from New Persian rūz/ruz “day,” inherited from Middle Persian rōz. Pronounced “rooz,” it is used as a modern unisex choice, prized for its bright, minimalist sound. The word underlies key cultural terms, most famously Nowruz/Nowrooz, the Persian New Year, literally “new day.” In Zoroastrian tradition, rōz names mark each day of the month, reinforcing its timeless, calendrical resonance.

As a personal name, Ruz appears on its own and as a short form of compound names beginning with Ruz-, notably Ruzbeh/Roozbeh (“fortunate, good day”), the birth name of the 8th‑century Persian writer Ibn al‑Muqaffaʿ. Related or variant spellings include Rooz and Rouz; cognate inspirations include Kurdish Roj (“day”) and Persian Ruzgar/Rūzgâr (“time, season”). The meaning evokes renewal, clarity, and auspicious beginnings.
