Keshara

Meaning of Keshara

Pronounced kuh-SHAIR-uh (kəˈʃɛərə), the feminine name Keshara is etymologically anchored in the Sanskrit keśara, “saffron,” a term historically evoking both the luminous hue of the revered spice and the sanctity ascribed to it within Indic spiritual traditions. Introduced into the Anglo-American onomastic repertoire in the mid-1980s, it first appeared in United States Social Security Administration records in 1984 and has since maintained a modest annual frequency—ranging from five to twelve occurrences and securing ranks between 788 and 897—thus preserving its status as an uncommon yet resonant choice. Characterized by a trochaic stress pattern and the interplay of a voiceless palatal fricative with open vowels, Keshara conveys an appellation at once phonetically elegant and imbued with cross-cultural depth.
