Meaning & origin

Sirr is a rare Arabic name meaning 'secret' or 'mystery,' carrying deep spiritual resonance. In the United States, its first recorded use was in 2001, and it reached a peak year of use in 2003. Since 2002, the name has been on a falling trajectory in frequency. As of 2025, it remains outside the top 1000 and has no calculated one-in-N statistic.
