Khosrow (word)
Khosrow is a male given name of Iranian origin, most notably held by Khosrow I of Sassanid Persia, but also by other people in various locations and languages. In some times and places, the word has come to mean "king" or "ruler", and in some cases has been used as a dynastic name. ''Khosrow'' is the Modern Persian variant. The word ultimately comes from Proto-Iranian *''Hu-sravah'' ("with good reputation"), itself ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *''h₁su''- ("good") + *''ḱléwos'' ("fame"). The name has been attested in Avesta as () and ''Haosrauuah'', as the name of the legendary Iranian king Kay Khosrow. This is the oldest attestation. The name was used by various rulers of Parthian Empire. It has been attested in Parthian-language inscriptions as "hwsrw" (), which may be variously transcribed and pronounced. The Latin form was or . The Old Armenian form was ''Khosrov'' (), derived from Parthian, and was held by several rulers of the Arsacid dynasty of Armenia ...

Khosrow III
Khosrow III (also spelled Khosrau, Khusro or Xosrow; pal, 𐭧𐭥𐭮𐭫𐭥𐭣𐭩; New Persian: ) was a Sasanian rival claimant who briefly ruled a part of Khorasan for a few months in 630. Name "Khosrow" is the New Persian variant of his name used by scholars; his original name was Middle Persian, ''Husraw'', itself derived from Avestan ''Haosrauuah'' ("he who has good fame").; The name is transliterated in Greek as ''Chosroes'' (Χοσρόης) and in Arabic as ''Kisra''. Biography The background of Khosrow III is obscure; in some sources he has been described as a son of Kavad II (), whilst other state that he was a son of Khosrow II (). The latter seems more likely according to the English historian C. E. Bosworth. Khosrow III originally lived in the "land of the Turks", but after hearing of the friction in Iran, went to the country and succeeded in ruling some of Khorasan for three months, before being killed by its governor. On his coinage, Khosrow III is portra ...

Khosrow I
Khosrow I (also spelled Khosrau, Khusro or Chosroes; pal, 𐭧𐭥𐭮𐭫𐭥𐭣𐭩; New Persian: []), traditionally known by his epithet of Anushirvan ( [] "the Immortal Soul"), was the Sasanian Empire, Sasanian King of Kings of Iran from 531 to 579. He was the son and successor of Kavad I (). Inheriting a reinvigorated empire at war with the Byzantines, Khosrow I made a peace treaty with them in 532, known as the Perpetual Peace, in which the Byzantine emperor Justinian I paid 11,000 pounds of gold to the Sasanians. Khosrow then focused on consolidating his power, executing conspirators, including his uncle Bawi. Dissatisfied with the actions of the Byzantine clients and vassals, the Ghassanids, and encouraged by the Ostrogoth envoys from Italy, Khosrow violated the peace treaty and declared war against the Byzantines in 540. He sacked the city of Antioch, bathed in the Mediterranean Sea at Seleucia Pieria, and held chariot races at Apamea where he made the Blue Fact ...

Khosrow II
Khosrow II (spelled Chosroes II in classical sources; pal, 𐭧𐭥𐭮𐭫𐭥𐭣𐭩, Husrō), also known as Khosrow Parviz (New Persian: , "Khosrow the Victorious"), is considered to be the last great Sasanian king (shah) of Iran, ruling from 590 to 628, with an interruption of one year. Khosrow II was the son of Hormizd IV (reigned 579–590), and the grandson of Khosrow I (reigned 531–579). He was the last king of Iran to have a lengthy reign before the Muslim conquest of Iran, which began five years after his execution. He lost his throne, then recovered it with the help of the Byzantine emperor Maurice, and, a decade later, went on to emulate the feats of the Achaemenids, conquering the rich Roman provinces of the Middle East; much of his reign was spent in wars with the Byzantine Empire and struggling against usurpers such as Bahram Chobin and Vistahm. After the Byzantines killed Maurice, Khosrow II began a war in 602 against the Byzantines. Khosrow II's forc ...
