Etymology

[edit]

From Old Median *Husrawah (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?), with the suffix adapted to -ης (-ēs); compare Persian خسرو (xosrow) as well as Old Armenian Խոսրով (Xosrov) and Old Georgian ხოსრო (xosro) from the same or a related Iranian source, ultimately from Proto-Iranian *Hhucráwah (literally Good Fame) (see there for more). Distantly related to the native Greek name Εὐκλῆς (Euklês).
