The word "Surra" is an Arabic word meaning "navel". This name was chosen by the mayor at the time Talal Al-Sharekh (1922-present) for the area because of its central location within Kuwait's urbanized landmass.

There are three major roads in Surra. The main road, "as-Surra Road," and "Ali 'ibn Abi Tālib Road," which crosses Surra from 4th Ring to 5th Ring roads, and also "Tariq Bin Ziyād Road" which leads to "Damascus Street."
