Meaning
Shuruq (شُرُوق) is an Arabic name for girls. It means sunrise.
In Arabic, words are built from a root of usually three letters. Shuruq comes from the root ش ر ق, and words from the same root share its core meaning. Similar names from the same family of words are listed below.
The same root is in 38:18, the mountains glorifying Allah "in the evening and at sunrise".
إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ
Innaa sakhkharnal jibaala ma'ahoo yusabbihna bil'ashaiyi wal ishraaq
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.
Quran 38:18. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Say it shu-ROOQ. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Shurooq and Shorouk. In Arabic it is written with 4 letters, from right to left: ش shin + ر ra + و waw + ق qaf.
Shuruq is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Shuruq bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
