What is the meaning of the name Rukhsaar ?

The baby name Rukhsaar is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced rookh-SAAR.

Rukhsaar is Persian, Urdu in Origin.

Rukhsaar is the South Asian spelling of Persian rokhsār (رخسار), a New Persian noun for the cheek or countenance. Its base is rokh/rukh, cheek, face, with the nominal element -sār in a fixed compound; the word is not connected with the Arabic root ش-ر-ف, honour. The literal sense is cheek, face, or facial aspect, especially in literary description.

In Urdu, Hindi, and related naming cultures, Rukhsaar entered through Persian vocabulary long embedded in courtly poetry and Indo-Muslim literary registers. It is usually feminine as a given name, while the common noun appears in ghazal diction for the beloved’s face. Spellings shift with transliteration: Rukhsar is shorter, Rokhsar follows modern Iranian Persian, and Rokhsār marks the long vowel academically. Contemporary use is most visible in Pakistan, India, and diaspora communities.
