Suroosh

Suroosh is a masculine given name of Persian origin, often transliterated as Soroush, Sorush, or Suroosh. It is used in Iran and by Persian-speaking communities in the diaspora, including parts of Central Asia, South Asia, and the West. The name is written in Persian as سروش and is traditionally associated with the concept of a messenger or divine messenger in Persian and Zoroastrian tradition; it is sometimes linked to the figure Sraosha, the divine messenger in ancient Iranian religion.

Notable people with the name include Suroosh Alvi, a Canadian journalist and co-founder of Vice Media. The name is primarily used as a given name, and transliteration variations arise from different languages and scripts rather than from a separate meaning or surname form.

In contemporary usage, Suroosh remains common among Persian-speaking communities and those of Iranian heritage. The spelling and pronunciation can vary by country and language, but the name generally retains its cultural associations with communication and message.
