What is the meaning of the name Sorosh ?

The baby name Sorosh is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /soˈroʃ/ (soh-ROSH).

Sorosh is Persian in Origin.

Sorosh is a Persian given name tracing back to Avestan Sraosha via Middle Persian Srosh, from a root meaning hearing and obedience. In Zoroastrian belief, Sraosha is the Yazata of conscience, the personification of the sacred word and attentive listening, and a messenger of Ahura Mazda; hence Sorosh carries senses of divine inspiration, angel, and bearer of good tidings.

The name has deep literary currency in Persian poetry, where Sorosh often stands for the archangel Gabriel and the voice that awakens the heart; it appears in Hafez and other classical poets. Today it is used mainly as a masculine name in Iran and the Persian diaspora, and also among Parsi Zoroastrians. Common variants and transliterations include Soroush, Sorush, Soroosh, Soorush, and Srosh; related historical forms are Sraosha (Avestan) and Srosh (Middle Persian).
