Rukhsar is Persian in Origin.

Rukhsar is a feminine name of Persian origin, from Persian رخسار/rokhsār and رخساره/rokhsāreh, meaning “cheek,” “face,” or “countenance,” with a poetic sense of rosy or radiant cheeks - an emblem of beauty in classical Persian and Urdu verse. Through Persian influence on Urdu, the name entered South Asian Muslim naming traditions and remains popular in Pakistan and India, with use also in Iran and Afghan Dari-speaking communities.

Attested in Indo-Persian literature and Urdu ghazals as an epithet for the beloved, Rukhsar is also used as a standalone given name across Persianate and South Asian communities. Common variants and spellings include Rukhsaar, Rokhsar, Rokhsār, and Rokhsareh; Turkish Ruhsar reflects the same root via Ottoman Persian. Informal pet forms include Rukhi. The name conveys grace, allure, and a pleasing presence, aligning with cultural ideals of a bright, modest visage.
