Kishor Patekar is Hindi in Origin.
Kishor is a masculine given name from Sanskrit kisora, meaning "youthful," "adolescent," or "young one," and is also a poetic epithet of the god Krishna. Widely used across Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages - especially Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Nepali, Gujarati, Kannada, and Telugu - it enjoyed strong popularity in the mid-20th century and remains a classic, devotional-tinged choice. Variants and spellings include Kishore and Kishor; the feminine counterpart is Kishori, and nicknames such as Kish or Kishu appear in informal use.
The surname Patekar is a Marathi family name associated with western India (notably Maharashtra and the Konkan) and is borne by figures such as actor Nana Patekar. Its function is chiefly lineage- and locale-indicative rather than semantic, so the composite name Kishor Patekar reads as "the youthful one" within a Maharashtrian cultural frame. Likely transliterations include Kishore Patekar, reflecting regional orthography.
We have no record of Kishor Patekar in any national birth registry or name dataset. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
