Serpuhi is Armenian in Origin.
Serpuhi is the Western Armenian transliteration of the feminine name Սրբուհի, pronounced Srbuhi/Srpouhi, built from Classical Armenian surb/sourp “holy, sacred” plus the feminine suffix -uhi “woman, lady.” It therefore means “holy woman,” “saintly woman,” or, by extension, “pure/virtuous.”
Attested in Armenian communities since medieval times and especially visible in the Ottoman-era Armenian milieu, the name appears in 19th-century Constantinople and in the diaspora. Notable bearers include the pioneering Armenian feminist writer Srpouhi (Srbouhi) Dussap (1842–1901) and, in modern Eastern Armenian, the singer Srbuhi “Srbuk” Sargsyan. Variant spellings reflect dialect and transliteration: Srbuhi/Srbouhi (Eastern/standard), Srpouhi/Serpouhi/Serpuhi (Western), with rarer forms Serbouhi and Srpuhi. Related diminutives and nicknames include Srbuk and Srbu. The name aligns with the Armenian tradition of virtue names (Surb “holy”) and remains a culturally resonant, distinctly Armenian choice.
