Kudret is Turkish in Origin.
Rooted in Turkish and ultimately from Arabic qudrat/qudra (قدرة), Kudret denotes power, might, and capability, reflecting the Semitic root Q-D-R linked to ability, decree, and destiny. It entered Turkish via Ottoman usage and appears in Divan poetry and administrative language; as a given name it has been borne chiefly by men but is occasionally unisex. The sense of endowed strength or God-given capacity lends the name a dignified, aspirational tone across Turkic and Muslim communities.
Variants and cognates mirror regional scripts and phonology: Azerbaijani Qüdrət, Persian Qodrat/Ghodrat, South and Central Asian Qudrat, and the straightforward Turkish/Bosniak Kudret. Related spellings include Qudret in transliteration. The name persists at modest frequency in Turkey and the broader Turkic world; contemporary bearers include Turkish Cypriot statesman Kudret Özersay and Turkish director Kudret Sabancı. Because it signals capability and resolve without sounding ornate, Kudret suits parents seeking a strong, culturally grounded choice.
