Khouri (also transliterated as "Khoury" ((アラビア語:خوري), "Χούρι"(Greek) ) is an Arabic surname that is unique to Arab Christians. The term Khouri means "priest" in Arabic. It derives from the Latin word ''curia''. Although most popular amongst the population in Lebanon, the name can also be found within Christian communities in Syria, Palestine, Tunisia, Iraq and Jordan. It is often given as a last name to a new priest or minister, replacing the old one. It is common for a family to keep the Khouri surname for generations past the life of the priest. Catholic and Orthodox clergy (particularly Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic and Maronite Catholic) are the largest numbers of people with this name; all three Rites having a married priesthood according to Catholic and Orthodox norms. Khouri is uncommon as a given name. The name is also uncommonly spelled as Elcure, Kouri, Couri, Koury, Koory, Koorey, Kuri, Kury, Curi, Cury, Coorey, Courey, Korey, Corey, Correy and in Latin America as Kure, Cure, Juri, Jure, or Alcuri. ==People== *Huguette Caland, Lebanese artist, born Huguette El Khoury, the daughter of the first post-independence president of Lebanon, Bechara El Khoury *Amin Khoury, founder of B/E Aerospace *Antoun Khouri, Syrian bishop *Bechara El Khoury, Lebanese politician *Buthina Khoury, Palestinian woman director and producer *Callie Khouri, American screenwriter *Camille Khoury, Lebanese politician *Carlos Cure, Colombian ambassador *Clara Khoury, Arab-Israeli actress, daughter of Makram Khoury *Colette Khoury, Syrian novelist *Driss El Khouri, Moroccan novelist *Elias Khoury, Lebanese novelist, playwright and critic *Elias Khoury (lawyer), Israeli lawyer *Elissa (singer), Lebanese singer, full name ''Elissar Zakaria Khoury'' *Emile Kuri, Lebanese Mexican set decorator *Faris al-Khoury, Syrian Prime Minister *George Khoury, Israeli Arab killed by Palestinian gunmen *George Khoury (author), American author *Giselle Khoury, Lebanese talk show host *Hind Khoury, Palestinian diplomat *Ken Khouri, Jamaican record company owner and producer, of part-Lebanese descent *Krystelle Khoury, Miss Lebanon Emigrant USA 2011 *Makram Khoury, Israeli actor *Marwan Khoury, Lebanese musician *Norma Khouri, Jordan-born Australian author *Nour El-Khoury, Lebanese woman said to have been involved in miracles *Paul Khoury, Australian television personality *Philip S.
