Sabur is Arabic in Origin.

Sabur is an Arabic masculine name derived from ṣabūr (صبور), the intensive form of the root ṣ‑b‑r “to be patient, steadfast.” It denotes “very patient,” “forbearing,” or “long‑suffering,” and echoes As‑Sabūr, one of the 99 Names of God in Islam. Because of that sacred epithet, some traditions favor the theophoric ‘Abd al‑Sabur (“servant of the All‑Patient”) over the standalone use, though both occur across the Muslim world.

In medieval Arabic historiography, Sabur (Sābūr) also renders Middle Persian Šābuhr/Shāpūr (Latin Sapor), a royal name meaning “son of the king,” giving the form parallel Persianate associations. Modern spellings include Sabur, Sabour, and Saboor (common in South Asia). Related names are Sabri/Sabry (adjectival), the feminine Sabira/Sabirah, and the abstract Sabr. Usage is documented from the early Islamic era through contemporary Arabic-, Persian-, and Urdu-speaking communities.
