Shahruz as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Shahruz

What is the meaning of the name Shahruz ?

The baby name Shahruz is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced shah-ROOZ; IPA: /ʃɑːˈruːz/.

Shahruz is Persian in Origin.

Shahruz is a Persian male given name formed from shah “king” (Middle Persian shah) and ruz “day” (Middle Persian roz, ultimately from Avestan raocah-), yielding the sense “royal day” or “day of the king.” The compound evokes auspicious timing, prosperity, and celebratory occasions, akin to the cultural resonance of Nowruz, the Persian New Year, so the name can imply a fortunate beginning or a day marked by triumph.

While not among the most common classical Persian names, Shahruz appears across the Persianate world, especially in Iran and Central Asia. It is well established in Tajik usage as Shohruz (Cyrillic Шоҳрӯз) and also romanized as Shahrooz/Shahrouz; scholarly transliterations include Shahrūz/Shâhrūz. The name is predominantly masculine. Note the distinction from Shahroud/Shahrud (“royal river”), the name of an Iranian city and river, and from Shahrokh (“royal face”), separate compounds that sometimes cause spelling confusion.
