Origin: Arabic

Meaning: Fate, destiny

Kismet is an evocative feminine name channeling fantastical possibilities of fated paths. Known widely as meaning "fate" or "destiny," Kismet comes from the Arabic root qasama, which means "he divided." At its core, Kismet speaks to Allah's will, but it has long since evolved to capture predetermined moments of romance, fortune, or even true callings. There is little doubt that many may come to see young Kismet as an affirming omen or perhaps even a powerful love impossible to resist.
