Keshori is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Keshori is an Indo-Aryan given name deriving from Sanskrit kiśorī, the feminine of kiśora, “adolescent; youthful,” hence “maiden” or “young woman.” The form Keshori reflects regional phonology and orthography in eastern Indo-Aryan languages (Bengali, Odia, Maithili), alongside variants Kishori, Kisori, and Kishoree; the masculine counterpart is Kishore/Kishor. Devotional compounds such as Keshori Devi, Kishori Devi, Keshori Lal, and Keshori Mohan are also common.

In Hindu Vaishnava tradition the name is an epithet of Rādhā (often addressed as Kishori-ji), connoting purity, grace, and youthful beauty, which has supported its steady use for girls across North and East India since at least the medieval bhakti era. While primarily feminine, Keshori also appears in male compound names in North India. The meaning centers on youthfulness and charm, with cultural overtones of devotion, auspiciousness, and gentle strength.
