From an earlier metathesis of سهر (suhr), Southern Luri سوهر (sohr) (cf. سهراب (suhrāb, literally a person who has red face)), from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (swhr /⁠suhr⁠/, red), from Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫘𐫇𐫍𐫡 (swhr /⁠suhr⁠/), from Old Persian *θuxrah (red, 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).
