Meaning Arabic
مسرور
Masrur (مسرور) is based on the Arabic root s-r-r (س-ر-ر) which relates to rejoicing and delight; the form masrūr is an adjective meaning 'joyful' or 'one who is made glad'. It is attested in classical Arabic lexica as an adjectival form and subsequently used as a given name in various Muslim societies influenced by Arabic and Persian vocabulary. In South Asia the variant Masroor or Masrour is encountered in both spoken and written forms. The name carries an emotional virtue rather than a titular or prophetic reference. Related names to consider for thematic or sibling naming include [[Mahfuz]] and [[Masroor]] (a common transliteration/variant). Masrur is suitable for parents seeking a concise, positive Arabic attribute-name that emphasizes cheerfulness and gladness without implying any specific historical figure.
