Gohar is Persian in Origin.
Gohar (Persian گوهر; Armenian Գոհար) is a cross-cultural given name meaning “jewel, gem,” and by extension “essence” or “noble nature.” It traces to Middle Persian gōhar and appears widely in Persian, Armenian, and South Asian usage (Urdu/Hindi as Gauhar). The name is unisex in Persianate and Urdu contexts but predominantly feminine in Armenian.
Across centuries, poets in Iran and the Subcontinent used gohar/gauhar as a metaphor for purity and worth. Notable bearers include the Timurid queen Gohar Shad, patron of the famed Masjid-e Gohar Shad in Mashhad; Mughal princess Gauhar Ara Begum; and Armenian soprano Gohar Gasparyan. Common variants and transliterations are Gauhar and Gowhar; Western Armenian often renders it Kohar. Related forms include the Arabic Jawhar/Jawhara and the Persian compound Goharshad (“joyous jewel”). The name continues to convey brilliance and intrinsic value in contemporary naming.
