Sharokh is Persian in Origin.
Sharokh is a Persian masculine given name composed of shah, “king,” and rokh (“face; countenance”), yielding the sense “royal-faced” or “one with a kingly visage.” The second element also echoes Persian rukh, the legendary roc and the chess “rook,” deepening its regal and heroic associations. The name appears in Persian and Dari, and through Urdu spread across South Asia.
Recorded in medieval Iran, it was borne by the Timurid ruler Shahrukh (r. 1405–1447) and later by Shahrokh Afshar of Khorasan. In contemporary culture, the spelling Shahrukh/Shah Rukh gained global recognition via Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, while Shahrokh remains standard in Iran. Common variants and transliterations include Shahrokh, Shahrukh, Shah Rukh, Shahroukh, and the simplified Sharokh; diminutives such as Sharo or Rukh sometimes occur. Usage today is steady in Iranian communities and sporadic elsewhere.
