What People Usually Mean by This Name
The Levantine and Egyptian spelling of fīrūz (فيروز), turquoise, the precious blue-green stone mined for millennia in Khorasan. We discussed the same name under Feruza (Uzbek-Tajik form). The Levantine -uz ending reflects Eastern Arabic phonology that the Egyptian and Lebanese transliteration traditions have preferred since the early twentieth century.
The most globally-renowned bearer is Fairuz (Nuhad Haddad, born 1934), the Lebanese singer, called 'Sayyidat al-Ghinā' (the Lady of Singing), whose voice has shaped Levantine Arabic music for sixty years. Her songs of Beirut at dawn, of love, of homeland, are sung throughout the Arabic-speaking world. To carry the name in Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian families is often a deliberate honour to her.
Variants: Fairuz, Fayrouz, Fairouz, Fairoze, Firuza (Uzbek), Feruza, Pirouz (Iranian, the masculine 'victorious'). Same root: Pirouz, Firouz (m, victorious, turquoise being the stone of victory). Compare Lulu (pearl), Yaqut (sapphire), Almas (diamond), Marjan (coral).
