Kasra is Persian in Origin.

Kasra (Persian: کسری) is a Persian masculine name linked to the Middle Persian royal name Khosrow/Khusrau, later Arabicized as Kisra (كسرى). In Persian and Arabic chronicles, Kasra referred to Sasanian emperors, lending the name the sense of "king," "emperor," or "mighty ruler." It is etymologically distinct from the Arabic grammatical term kasra, the vowel sign for short i, despite the identical pronunciation.

The name figures prominently in references to Khosrow I Anushirvan and Khosrow II Parviz and endures in heritage sites such as Taq Kasra at Ctesiphon. Modern usage is steady in Iran and among the Persian diaspora, predominantly masculine. Variants and related forms include Khosrow, Khusrau, Khusro (Urdu), Kisra (Arabic), Cosroe (Italian), and Chosroes (Latin/Greek). Short forms such as Kas or Kass occur informally. Overall, Kasra carries a strong, regal aura rooted in classical Persian history.
