Suri Cruise - Pickpocket

Cruise, Holmes baby name confuses Israelis

(AP) - If Suri means "princess" in Hebrew like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes say, then it's news to Israelis.

One radio announcer in Israel says "nobody here has ever really heard of it." An Israeli T-V anchorman says "we seem to have learned a new Hebrew word, and from Tom Cruise, no less."

Suri does have some unusual meanings in other languages. In Japanese, it means "pickpocket." In southern India, it means "pointy nose."

Suri is also a breed of alpaca from South America.
