History & Origin

Sirr is a short modern name with two plausible roads. The likelier is the English title sir, doubled at the end in the way American coinages often are — a name that confers respect from the first breath. The other is Arabic sirr, 'secret', a real word used in Sufi vocabulary. Routes are uncertain, which we note. Punchy, brief, and self-assured (said 'SUR').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined-feeling, and bold.

Did you know? Sirr can be read two ways: as a respelling of 'sir', a word of respect, or as the Arabic sirr, 'secret'. The routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'SUR').
