Suri (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suri (Persian: سوری ) (Sanskrit: सूरी ) is both a surname and a given name dually originating from both Sher Shah Suri, emperor of the Suri Dynasty, and from the Sanskrit (via Pali) word meaning "wise" or "learned".[1]

Those of the former represent themselves as descendants of Muhammad Suri, one of the princes of house of the Ghorian.

Those of the latter mostly belong to the Suri clan of the Khukhrain tribe of the Khatri people of North India.

Notable people with either origin of the name include:
