Etymology

From earlier سهر (suhr) (cf. سهراب (suhrāb, “literally a person who has red face”)), from Middle Persian [script needed] (swhr /⁠suhr⁠/, “red”), from Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫘𐫇𐫍𐫡 (swhr /⁠suhr⁠/), from Old Persian 𐎰𐎧𐎼 (θ-x-r /⁠θuxra⁠/, “bright”), from Proto-Iranian *cuxráh from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćukrás. Compare Sanskrit शुक्र (śukra, “bright, resplendent”), Parthian 𐫘𐫇𐫟𐫡 (swxr /⁠suxr⁠/, “red”), Ossetian сырх (syrx, “red”) and Avestan 𐬯𐬎𐬑𐬭𐬀 (suxra).
