The last name 'Khoury' (also Khouri, Coury, El-Khouri, El-Khour) is derived from the arabic language, translating into 'Priest'. The last name was given to those whom became priests and as most catholic & orthodox traditions in the middle east, allow a priest to marry, the name would pass down through the generations. Therefore when a priest is ordained, his last name changes to 'Khouri' (i.e if you last name was Smith Frank, it would change to Smith F. Khoury/i), and his children and their children will maintain the same last name.
