Meaning & History
Of Persian origin, but the meaning of this name is partially uncertain, as the available sources do not agree with each other on the first element. According to a Georgian source, the first element means "feast", whilst a Russian source states that it means "to walk in front (of)". Both sources agree that the second element is derived from the Persian noun شیر (sher) meaning "lion" (see Sher). As such, the meaning of this name is either "feast of the lion" or "to walk in front of the lion" or even "the lion walks in front".
