What People Usually Mean by This Name
Fairuz (فيروز) is the Arabic-Persian word for turquoise, the blue-green stone whose Persian original fīrūza means 'victorious, triumphant.' The stone has been mined in northeastern Iran (Nishapur) for over five thousand years, and Persian and Arab jewellery tradition treated it as the stone of protection against the evil eye and against falling from a horse. The colour itself, neither sky nor earth, was associated in Sufi commentary with the threshold between worlds.
The name is most internationally famous through Fairuz (born Nuhād Ḥaddād, 1934), the Lebanese singer who is among the most beloved voices of the Arab world. Her decades-long career, often compared in scope and reverence to that of Umm Kulthūm, has given the name an enduring lyric register across Arabic-speaking communities. The Levantine scholarly spelling Fairuz preserves the classical Arabic orthography; the standard Mashriqi spelling is Fayrouz; the Pakistani-Indian masculine forms are Firoz and Firoze.
