Etymology

From Middle Persian 𐫘𐫡𐫇 (srw /⁠sarw⁠/, “cypress”). The form شَرْبِين (šarbīn) from Aramaic – Jewish Babylonian Aramaic שׁוּרְבִּינָא (šurbinnā, “Cupressus sempervirens”), Classical Syriac ܫܘܽܪܒܻܝܢܳܐ (šurbinnā), ܫܱܪܘܱܝܢܳܐ (šarwēnā, “Cupressus sempervirens”) –, from Akkadian 𒋗𒌫𒎙 (šu-ur₂-min₃ /⁠šurmēnu⁠/, “cypress”), from Sumerian 𒋗𒌫𒈨 (šu-ur₂-me /⁠šurmen⁠/, “cypress”). Compare Old Armenian սարոյ (saroy, “cypress”) and սարդ (sard, “cedar of Lebanon”).
