Khosrov is Persian in Origin.
Khosrov is the Armenian form (Խոսրով) of a venerable Iranian royal name, ultimately from Old Iranian hu- "good" + srava- "fame, renown," yielding the sense "of good fame" or "renowned." Through Middle Persian xusrow/husraw, it entered Armenian as Khosrov and Persian as Khosrow/Khusrau, a meaning reinforced by its long association with kingship.
The name appears in Armenia from Late Antiquity, borne by Arsacid rulers such as Khosrov the Small (Kotak), and by the medieval cleric-poet Khosrov of Andzev. In the Persianate world it evokes the Sasanian monarchs Khosrow I Anushirvan and Khosrow II Parviz, and it continued in Ottoman and South Asian culture (cf. Hüsrev; Khusro, as in the poet Amir Khusrau). Variants include Khosrow, Khosrau, Khusrau, Khusraw, Khosro, Xosrov, Chosroes (Greek/Latin), and Hüsrev/Husrev. Diminutives in Armenian sometimes use Khosro. The name remains a dignified, heritage-rich choice.
Khosrov is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 15 times, across 5 countries.
