فيروزة: حجَر الفيروز، حجر ثمين أزرق-أخضر (مأخوذ من الفارسية)
Fīrūzah (فیروزه, sometimes rendered Firoza or Firouzeh) is a historically attested feminine name from Persian, meaning 'turquoise' the gemstone (from Middle Persian *pērōzēh/*fīrōzah). The term entered Arabic and South Asian usage through cultural and lexical borrowing during the medieval period and appears in Persian poetry and in onomastic records of Muslim communities. As a given name it evokes the stone's blue‑green hue, rarity in certain contexts, and its value as an ornament; socially it has been used across Iranian, Arab (in Persian-influenced circles), and South Asian Muslim milieus. Related names and cognates include [[Fayruz]] and [[Firuza]]; common transliterations are Firoza, Fīrūzah, Firouzeh. It is not a Qur'anic personal name but is well documented in Persian lexica and historical naming registers.
