Sarsoureh is Persian in Origin.

Sarsoureh is a rare Persian-language feminine given name encountered in Iran, especially in western provinces with Kurdish and Luri influence. Its etymology is debated; many speakers understand it through association with Persian/Arabic surur "joy, delight" and Persian soor "banquet, festivity," with the feminine ending -eh, yielding an overall sense of "joyous celebration" or "festive delight." As a regional or poetic choice, it carries warm, auspicious overtones.

Documented use appears sporadically in 20th-century civil records and has modest visibility in the diaspora since the 1990s. Variant spellings include Sarsureh, Sarsooreh, Sorsoureh, and Sursureh; diminutives such as Suri or Soor may occur. It is sometimes confused with Soraya (from Arabic Thurayya, "Pleiades") or Soroush/Sorush (from Avestan Sraosha, "divine messenger"), but these are etymologically distinct. Parents drawn to meanings of happiness, conviviality, and good omens may find Sarsoureh appealing.
