Meaning and origin of Feruza
Feruza is the Central Asian form of the Persian fīrūza, the word for turquoise, the blue-green gemstone. The stone has long been associated in Persian culture with good fortune, protection and victory, and the word is sometimes linked to pīrūz, 'victorious', though that connection is traditional rather than certain. As a name, Feruza calls to mind the gem's colour and value, and it is understood as 'precious stone' or 'the colour of turquoise'.
The name is particularly loved in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, where the turquoise domes and tilework of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva make the colour a symbol of the region's heritage. Uzbek and Tajik turn the Persian long ī and ū into e and u, giving Feruza and Firuza; Iranians use Firouzeh, Turks Firuze, and South Asians Feroza or Firoza. In Cyrillic the name is written Феруза. It is also common among Central Asian families living in Russia and elsewhere.
