Srpouhi is Armenian in Origin.

Srpouhi (Armenian Սրբուհի) is a traditional Armenian feminine name built from surb (սուրբ) meaning "holy, sacred" and the feminine suffix -uhi (ուհի), yielding the sense "holy woman" or "saintly maiden." The Western Armenian devoicing of b→p explains the spelling Srpouhi, while Eastern Armenian commonly romanizes it as Srbuhi; all forms share the same root and meaning.

The name is documented across Armenian communities in the 19th–20th centuries and was especially visible in the Ottoman Armenian milieu; a notable bearer is the pioneering feminist novelist Srpouhi Dussap (1840–1901). Though rarer today, it remains recognizable in the diaspora and in Armenia, where the Eastern form Srbuhi is current (cf. singer Srbuhi "Srbuk" Sargsyan). Additional variants and transliterations include Srpohi and Srpouhie; diminutives such as Srbik/Srpik are also used. Connotations center on piety, virtue, and reverence within the Armenian Christian tradition.
