Goher is Persian in Origin.
Goher is a Persian-origin given name, a South Asian transliteration of Persian Gohar/Gauhar (گوهر), meaning "jewel," "pearl," or by extension "essence/virtue." It descends from Middle Persian gōhar and is closely related to Arabic Jawhar (جَوْهَر) through long-standing Persian–Arabic exchange, sharing the same sense. In Persian literature, gohar evokes innate nobility and preciousness, appearing frequently in classical poetry and didactic texts.
Used across Iran, Central and South Asia, and the Caucasus, the name is unisex in Persian and Urdu; in Armenia (Գոհար) it is primarily feminine, while in Pakistan and India it leans masculine. Historical bearers include the Timurid queen Gawhar Shad and Mughal princess Gauhar Ara Begum; modern figures feature actress Gauhar Khan and musician Goher Mumtaz. Variants: Gohar, Gauhar, Gawhar; Arabic/Urdu: Jawhar/Johar.
