Suren

Meaning of Suren

The masculine appellation Suren, rendered in Armenian as /suːˈrən/, derives from the ancien régime of the Parthian Empire—specifically the prestigious House of Suren, one of the Seven Great Houses of Iran—thereby embedding within its etymology connotations of martial authority and noble lineage. Its transmission through Persian and Armenian linguistic channels has incurred minimal phonological alteration, preserving a semantic core that evokes historic sovereignty rather than colloquial familiarity. Empirical data from the United States Social Security Administration reveal that over the past decade and a half (2010–2024), annual occurrences of newborn males named Suren have fluctuated modestly between six and eleven registrations, corresponding to rankings that oscillate roughly between the 875th and 926th most popular male names; this statistical steadiness underscores its status as a discerning yet enduring selection within contemporary Anglo-American onomastic practice.
