Pronounced as kaw-THAR (/kaʊˈθar/), the name Kawthar is derived from the Arabic word "kawthar," which means "abundance" or "a river in paradise." This name carries significant religious and spiritual connotations, often associated with purity and divine blessing. While not extremely common in the United States, it has seen consistent albeit modest usage over the years, appearing intermittently on baby name charts.
