Meaning and background
The story behind Kismet
Kismet is an English word associated with fate or destiny. Merriam-Webster describes a power imagined as determining future events and also records a sense involving an inevitable outcome. A chance meeting or unexpected adoption can give a household a personal reason to choose it. That symbolic story rests on the documented word sense; it should remain a statement of the chooser’s feeling rather than a factual claim about destiny.
