From Persian "Shahrazad", compounded from "shahr" (city) and "azad" (free, noble-born), meaning "city-born" or "of noble urban lineage".

From Old Persian or Middle Persian, possibly meaning "red water" or "brilliant red" (from "sūr" meaning red/brilliant and "āb" meaning water).

From the Persian word "nasrīn" meaning wild rose or eglantine, referring to the delicate climbing rose that grows in Persian gardens and has been celebrated in Persian poetry for its beauty and fragrance since antiquity.
