(“khoury” (also transliterated as “khouri” (arabic: خوري, “xούρι”(greek) (Ḫūrī) is an ‘arabic’ surname that is common to ‘christians’ in the “middle east”)
(the term ‘khoury’ means “priest” in ‘arabic’)
(it derives from the latin word ‘curia’)
(although most popular amongst the population in ‘lebanon’, where it is the 2nd most common surname, the name can also be found within christian communities in ‘israel’, ‘syria’, ‘palestine’, and ‘jordan’)
(it is often given as a ‘last name’ to a new ‘priest’ or ‘minister’, replacing the old one and to the children of the married priest and their descendants in similar fashion as the surname ‘cohen’ was adopted by the children of the ‘jewish priestly class’)
(in the ‘maronite church’, even though in communion with the ‘roman catholic church’, as well as in the ‘eastern orthodox churches, married men are allowed to become ‘priests’)
(it is common for a family to keep the ‘khoury’ surname for generations past the life of the ‘priest’)
(‘catholic’ and ‘orthodox’ clergy (particularly ‘maronite catholic’, ‘greek orthodox’, ‘syriac orthodox’, and ‘melkite catholic’) are the largest numbers of people with this name; all 4 ‘rites’ having a married priesthood according to ‘catholic’ and ‘orthodox’ norms)
(‘khoury’ / ‘khouri’ is uncommon as a given name)
(for ‘syriac orthodox, “khoury” or “al-khoury” means ‘corepiscopos’, which is an honorary rank above a ‘priest’)
.
(due to the “lebanese diaspora”, which started in the late 1800s, the name has acquired different variants in different countries and is also uncommonly spelled as
‘el khoury’,
‘elcure’,
‘elkhori’,
‘kouri’,
‘couri’,
‘koury’,
‘coury’,
‘kourie’,
‘koory’,
‘koorey’, ‘kuri’, ‘khuri’, ‘kury’, ‘curi’, ‘cury’, ‘coorey’, ‘courey’, ‘korey’, ‘kory’, ‘corey’, ‘chory’, ‘correy’, and in ‘latin america’ as ‘kure’, ‘cure’, ‘juri’, ‘jury’, ‘cura’, ‘jure’, ‘eljure’, ‘aljure’, or ‘alcuri’)
