Suramiri (tribe)

Suramiri (Kurdish: سورەمەیری/Suremeyrî), or Sorkheh Mehri (Persian: سرخه مهری), is a Kurdish tribe living in western and southwestern Iran, as well as parts of eastern Iraq.

History

Suramiri is short for Sorkheh Mehri, which means "a red-haired leader". The Suramiri Kurds are scattered around the provinces of Hamadan, Lorestan, Ilam, Khuzestan, Kermanshah, Sorkheh Mehri, and Cham Seyl in Iran, and the cities of Khanaqin, Badra, and Ali al-Gharbi in Iraq. The Suramiris follow Shia Islam and speak Southern Kurdish.[1][2][3]
