To be honest, I can only think of Suri Cruise when I hear/see this name. It's nice sounding and all, and a lot better than the other names celebs give their children to be honest.

My name is Suri. Suri is a Slovak name, it is not just Tom Cruise's daughter's name. During the war my great - great grandmother had to change her name because the name Suri is also very Jewish.

Suri is a nickname for the Hebrew name Sarah. My little sister's name is Sarah and she goes by Suri everywhere. While in the Orthodox Jewish community it's SO popular, I found it kind of nice it's coming around to secular circles.

Suri is a nice name in my opinion. My friend has this name and she is Chinese. She has never had the problem with Suri Cruise.

I like it because it's a very beautiful name. My best friend and her husband searched for unique baby names and finally decided to name their daughter Suri who is now 11 years old. As a fan of Tom Cruise I think he chose a nice name for his little girl unlike other celebrities who pick ridiculous ones for their children such as Apple, Bear or North.

I don't want to be rude, but as a native Hebrew speaker, the Hebrew word for princess is "Nesiha", I don't think Suri is a synonym or anything, never heard of this word before hearing about Suri Cruise.
Yet, Avshalom Kor is the one of the most famous linguists in Israel, so he's probably right about Suri being a nickname for Sara.

My name is Suri, and so it is the name of my great grandmother and great, great grandmother so has been passed along. It is a feminine first name as Suria is the boy version. It is from North India meaning 'Sun'
I think this is a lovely name, though it can get annoying if people think I am named after Suri Cruise despite the fact that I am older than her.

Actually Suri is a Persian nickname for the name of "Soroor". Soroor is a Persian name for girls that means Joy or Happiness. The nickname of "Suri" is friendlier and closer!
Anyway, I'm happy to know this name is used in other countries as well with beautiful meanings! :)

My name is Suri. It's legally Sarah, but ever since I was a baby I've been called Suri. I'm Jewish, and Suri is actually a VERY popular nickname for Sarah for Orthodox Jews. I'm named after my sweet grandmother who died from cancer before I was born, and I cherish my name and proudly use it in the business world. People have only said nice comments when I tell them my name, like that it's so sweet, unusual and pretty.
I absolutely love my name. I think it's beautiful in both forms.

SURI is a popular surname in North India.
In fact, my name is SAFAL and surname is SURI. I have a physical record of a long family tree (uploaded on geni.com) and the first member is recorded in 1610. Our surname has been SURI since then.
I can't speak of people outside India and what they like to think/invent... (just because a celebrity kid has SURI name doesn't mean people keeping/using/reading it for the first time actually own it or are experts knowning the meaning)... but I can tell you that SURI, in India, means the followings... (1) Lord Krishna and (2) Warrior.
Please remember, WE have the name for over 500 years and the above meanings are what we have followed since forever.
Lastly, SURI is not Yeddish name... it is HINDI Surname. AND... its masculine, not feminine.

Suri is a diminutive of Sura, a Yiddish form of Sarah. "The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names" by Smadar Shir Sidi lists Sorali, Sorke, Sura and Tzirel as Yiddish forms of Sarah. According to a news article on Suri Cruise's name "Avshalom Kor, an expert on the intricacies of the Hebrew language, told Army Radio there is a tenuous connection [to Hebrew]. Kor said Suri is a nickname for Sarah as pronounced by Jews from Central Europe". http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/hey-tom-nice-job-article-1.591977

I find this name to be ugly. It sounds like someone saying "yes, sirree". It also reminds me of Surry county in the state of North Carolina.

My friend's little sister is named Sarah, and we call her Suri, because that's how she said her name when she was little.

The Hebrew meaning is 'Princess'
The Indian meaning is 'Sun'
The Persian meaning is 'Rose'
And the Japanese meaning, my favorite, is 'Pickpocket'

I find "Suri" to be very sweet... unfortunately, if used, a clever fullname must be devised because the simplicity and near childish manner (especially with the ending "-i") will not aid your child in life (.. I suppose young Miss Cruise doesn't have to worry too much). It is very tender, very "cute." But as I have said: an atrocity in the professional world.

I like this name and think it's cute, though I liked it long before Suri Cruise was born. The first time I heard it, honestly, was from the 2000 movie Dinosaur; the little girl lemur (voiced by Hayden Panettiere) is named Suri.

I don't like the sound of this name. It sounds unpleasant and not very feminine. Surrey is not only a place in England, it's a town in Canada as well, and I always associate Suri with the town Surrey since I live close by.

In Hebrew, Suri means "princess". In Farsi, the name Suri means "red rose". In Japanese, Suri means "pickpocket".
However, the Farsi translation is also debatable. Some natives claim Suri means "a shade of red" or "a blaze". Others explain that it means "happiness and joy".
It's a very diverse name. ^^

I didn't even think this was a real name until TomKat used it on their daughter. Now everyone will assume that someone using it named her after TomKat's daughter. Without Suri Cruise, this name is quite ugly, and it makes me think of Surrey, a county in England.

Such a sweet name - nicer than Sarah, in my opinion. I agree, it's a shame that it is so notorious as the name of Suri Cruise, although she is such a beautiful little girl that it only makes me like the name more!

I love it. If I am right, the name is a Japanese word for "thief", but not 100% sure.

I love this name! It's just too bad that nobody knew it existed until TomKat used it; it's really lovely. But now all people will think of when they meet a Suri is that she must've been named after Suri Cruise. *sighs*

TomKat made this up. If scholars in Israel have never heard of it, it must be fake.

It's listed as Yiddish, so that could be why---if it's a bit different from the original Hebrew maybe they're not familiar with this variant.

Someone in Israel is bound to know Yiddish. If they've never heard of it, that's probably because TomKat made it up.

Suri is a "pet" name used by the Ashkenazi Jews of Poland and Hungary for the name Sarah. This information comes from Dr. Avshalom Kor, an Israeli linguist and expert on Hebrew grammar and semantics.

The daughter of Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, is the first well known bearer of this name. Suri (no middle name) entered the world on April 18th, amid tabloid speculation, paparazzi flutter, and Scientology conspiracy theories. She solidified a relationship that many believed to have been a creatively orchestrated publicity stunt. As if her actual conception and birth didn't incite enough of a riot of mystery and hysteria within the mass media, questions began to arise over Suri's actual existence. Of course, October 2006's "Vanity Fair" magazine put an end to the rumour with a photo spread of the happy family and the public has begun to see more of little Suri since the elaborate and star-studded wedding of her parents this past November. Her unsual name and conflicting reports over its meaning only served to play into the oddity of the whole affair and it will be interesting to see its impact on the popularity of the name Suri.
