Probably from Ancient Greek , and also attested in Classical Syriac as an irregular variant of ܣܘܼܪܝܵܝܵܐ(suryāyā). The standard form itself is first attested in the writings of Philoxenus of Mabbug in the 5th-6th century, strengthening the Greek theory, which most modern scholars support and what Syriac writers themselves attest to. However, the deletion of the first /j/ would not have a clear explanation, which is also in Turoyoܣܘܪܳܝܐ(suroyo).
Possibly directly from Akkadian𒀾𒋗𒊏𒅀(Aššūrāyu), likely via the variants assūrāyu (Attested in Neo-Assyrian) or sūrāyu (7th century BC).
