Shireh

Shireh is a toponym used in Iran for multiple small settlements. The name derives from Persian شیره (shireh), meaning syrup, sap, or juice, and has been applied to places with perceived water abundance or greenery.

In Iranian administrative geography, there are several villages and rural districts named Shireh across different provinces. Because it is a common toponym, identifying a specific Shireh typically requires additional locational qualifiers, such as the province or county.

The name sometimes appears in compounded forms such as Shireh-ye Olya or Shireh-ye Sofla, which denote upper and lower variants in nearby areas. Beyond villages, the root term may appear in other geographic names, but the primary use is as a place name.

Shireh is written in Persian script as شیره and is transliterated in various ways in English, including Shireh, Shireeh, or Shire.
