Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from Middle Persian xwar meaning "sun". Also compare Middle Persian xwarāsān meaning "sunrise, east" and the related name Khorshid. The second element likely consists of a suffix, such as the Persian suffix شن (shan), which forms a name for a place or field.A notable bearer of this name was princess Khoreshan of Kartli (died in 1658), who married king Teimuraz I of Kakheti (1589-1661) in 1612 and subsequently became Queen Consort of Kakheti.
