Ashour Name Meaning

The name Ashour is of Arabic origin and is commonly used in many Middle Eastern cultures. It comes from the Arabic word 'Ashura', which is the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of Islamic lunar calendar. Ashour essentially means 'the tenth'. Being taken from such a significant day in Islamic culture, the name carries a strong spiritual connection.

It's not an overly common name in Western countries, so few, if any, well-known celebrities or public figures bear this name. However, there is a famous Egyptian squash player named Ramy Ashour who was World No.1 squash player.
