Fairouzeh (Syriac: ܦܝܪܘܙܐ, Arabic: فيروزة, romanized: Fayrūzah) is a village 3 miles southeast of the city of Homs in Syria.
Due to urban development in the area, Fairouzeh, like nearby Zaydal, is now considered one of Homs' suburbs.
Many believe it originates from the word fayruz, meaning "turquoise" in Syriac, in reference to the green color of the surrounding landscape.
The majority of people owned enough land to grow wheat, barley, lentil, olive trees and wine grapes.
The most known family names in Fairouzah are: Abdullatif, Abdulnour, Abdulhai, Abdel Aziz, Askar, Assaf, Assfour, Attiyah, Ballat, Dabbas, Dabbous, Danial, Deeb, Dib, Diab, Darghali, Fattali, Fedail, Fleyeh, Ghanem, Ghreer, Habahab, Habroun, Hannoun, Hamad, Hawara, Halabi, Hourany, Howarah, Hushaan, Husari, Jubi, Joudi, Kassas, Khalil, Khazael, Maida, Mbarkeh, Maleh, Makhool, Mashhour, Masoudi, Mushamel, Nader, Nahim, Nasser, Nakkoud, Noufal, Nussais, Rahal, Roboz, Sayegh, Shahadeh, Shahla, Taweel, Trad, Watfa, Wanis,Kannich,Kannish Younan.
Many students from Fayruzah and neighboring villages graduated from this school and continued their higher education in Homs and Damascus.
From the end of World War I until after the 1960s, a large wave of Fayruzah's residents emigrated to South America and to the United States, seeking better living conditions.
Currently there exists a large community of Fairouzian people in Los Angeles and smaller ones in Detroit, Jacksonville and Miami.
