Khusrow is Persian in Origin.
Khusrow is a Persian masculine name, also seen as Khosrow, Khusrau, or Khosrau. It descends from Middle Persian Husraw (xusrō), tracing to Avestan Husrava “good renown,” from hu- “good” + srava “fame, report,” related to Sanskrit śravas and Greek kleos. The core meaning centers on good reputation, illustrious glory, and widely-heard praise - an auspicious, honor-laden choice.
The name gained lasting prestige through Sasanian royalty, especially Khosrow I Anushirvan and Khosrow II Parviz, and spread across the Persianate world into Central and South Asia. Notable bearers include the Indo-Persian poet-musician Amīr Khusrau. Regional forms appear as Hüsrev (Turkish), Khosrov (Armenian), Khosro (Georgian), Xosrov or Xosrew (Azerbaijani, Kurdish), and Xusrav (Tajik). Historical Greco-Latin sources render it as Chosroes (also Cosroe in Italian). While unmistakably regal in tone, Khusrow remains usable today, carrying connotations of noble character and lasting fame.
