Parasmani is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Parasmani is a South Asian given name rooted in Indo-Aryan languages, formed from parasa/parash (touch) and maṇi (jewel). It denotes the legendary “touchstone” or philosopher’s stone believed to turn base metals into gold, so the name conveys transformative power, rarity, and auspicious brilliance. Widely understood across Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Nepali, Bengali, and Odia, it is used mostly for boys but can be unisex in some communities.
The image of the parasmani pervades devotional and vernacular literature as a metaphor for spiritual grace - appearing in Bhakti poetry and in Bengali as poroshmoni (famously in Rabindra Sangeet: “E Poroshmoni”). The name also entered popular culture through the 1963 Hindi film Parasmani. Common variants include Paras Mani (spaced), Parashmani, Parashmoni, and Bengali Poroshmoni/Parashmani; related nicknames are Paras and Mani. Overall, Parasmani evokes an ideal of inner alchemy: touch that ennobles, wisdom that enriches.
