Shohreh is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Shohreh is the romanized form of Persian شهره, pronounced šohre in Iranian Persian. It reflects Arabic شُهْرَة shuhra, the earliest securely identifiable form, a verbal noun from the Arabic root š-h-r, concerned with being manifest, public, or well known. In Persian, final he marks the short vowel -e, and the word functions adjectivally for someone renowned or much spoken of. Its literal sense is fame or famous.
As a given name, Shohreh belongs chiefly to modern Persian naming in Iran and the Iranian diaspora. International recognition owes much to figures such as actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, singer Shohreh Solati, and chess arbiter Shohreh Bayat. Related spellings include Shohre and Shouhreh; Arabic and South Asian Shuhra remains closer to the source noun. The name has limited uptake outside Persian-speaking communities.
