The name "Surour" (Joy) is not mentioned among the famous female Companions in biographical dictionaries. However, its meaning is good and indicates optimism. To find good names of female Companions, one can refer to the book "Tasmiyat al-Mawdoud" by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd, and "Tuhfat al-Wadoud bi-Ahkam al-Mawloud" by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim. Among the well-known names of female Companions are: Aisha, Khadijah, Fatimah, Asma, Zaynab, Safiyyah, and Hafsah.
