Parc is French in Origin.
Parc is a modern given name drawn from the common noun "park," attested in Old French parc and Medieval Latin parricus, from a Frankish/Germanic root meaning "enclosure, fenced preserve." The spelling Parc matches the French, Welsh, Breton, and Catalan word, where it denotes a park or deer preserve, and it echoes British place-names such as Y Parc in Wales.
Used as a personal name, Parc is rare but fits the English tradition of adopting surnames and toponymic words as given names. Its closer relatives Park and Parke appear in 18th–19th-century records in Britain and America, transferred from surnames for someone who lived by or worked in a park. Variants and cognates include Park, Parke, Parks, and the occupational Parker; in Romance and Celtic languages, Parc is the identical form. Meaning centers on "enclosure; parkland; refuge," giving the name a nature-rich, modern unisex feel.
Parc is far from common. In all, it turns up just 32 times, across 12 countries.
