Kishwar meaning
Kishwar (کشور) is a Muslim girl's name of Persian origin (Urdu usage).
A region, country or realm; one of the world's seven climes
Also used to mean: kingdom
Kishwar (کشور) is a Persian word for a country, region or realm. Steingass's dictionary explains that the world was divided into seven kishwars, or climes, each linked with a planet, and lists compounds such as kishwar-ārāy, "adorning the empire", and kishwar-kushā, "conqueror". Name lists give Kishwar as "kingdom" or "country", which matches. It is a girl's name used by Urdu-speaking families, also in pairs such as Kishwar Jahan or Kishwar Ara. The Pakistani poet Kishwar Naheed is its best-known bearer.
