Serouj is Persian in Origin.

Serouj is a Western Armenian male given name, formed wholly within Armenian. Its elements are ser, “love,” and uj/už, “strength, power,” yielding the sense “the strength of love” or “love’s power.” The common French-influenced spelling with j reflects the sound [zh]; it is often rendered Seruzh/Serouzh in English transliteration and written Սերուժ in Armenian. Typical pronunciation is se-ROOJ/ser-OOZH.

The name came into broader use in the late 19th–20th centuries among Western Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and later Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt), and it remains current in the diaspora (France, Canada, the United States). Variants include Seruzh, Serouzh, Seruj; the nickname Sero is common; the feminine cognate is Serouhi/Seruhi. Distinct from - though sometimes conflated with - Serge/Sergei (from Latin Sergius). The patronymic surname Seroujian preserves the given name. Uncommon yet unmistakably Armenian, it carries a warm, idealistic resonance.
