Sura (sometimes spelt "Surah" سورة sūrah, plural "Suwar" سور) is an Arabic term literally meaning "something enclosed or surrounded by a fence or wall." The term is commonly used to mean a "chapter" of the Qur'an, each of which is traditionally ordered roughly in order of decreasing length. Each Sura is named for a word or name mentioned in an ayah (section), of that 'Sura'. Some 'Sura' were surprising to Muslims at the time of their revelation; for example, the elevated status of Mary - a believing woman and the mother of Jesus - which is mentioned in Sura 19 ("Maryam/Mary").
