Sabri

Sabri is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It is derived from the root sabr, meaning patience or endurance, and is often interpreted as “the patient one.” The name is common among Arabic-speaking populations and is also found in Turkey and other Muslim-majority regions, reflecting the spread of Arabic-derived names through historical cultural exchange. It is used as a first name and, in some communities, can appear as a surname.

Variants and related names include Sabry and Sabrī, with the latter often shown with diacritics in transliteration. A feminine form commonly encountered is Sabira. Spelling and pronunciation may vary across languages and scripts, including Turkish, Persian, and Urdu-speaking contexts, where adaptations such as Sabri or Sabry are preserved.

In onomastic contexts, Sabri appears in given-name registries, genealogies, and literary references. While primarily a given name, it can also function as a surname in certain cultures or appear as part of compound names. Notable bearers of the name have contributed across fields such as sports, academia, politics, and the arts, though the name does not point to a single defining figure.

Overall, Sabri reflects traditional naming practices in many Muslim-majority societies, associating individuals with the virtue of patience across generations.
