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. In 2004, it had a population of 6,456.[1] Its inhabitants are predominantly Syriac Christians of Aramean (Syriac) descent, and some of them still speak Aramaic as a second language.[2][3]
