What is the meaning of the name Pari ?

The baby name Pari is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-ree (IPA: /ˈpɑːri/ or /ˈpɑri/).

Pari is Persian in Origin.

Pari is a feminine name of Persian origin, from pari, “fairy” or “celestial beauty.” In Iranian mythology and classical poetry, a pari (also transliterated peri) is a luminous, otherworldly being - depicted in earlier sources as capricious, later as benevolent and graceful - which anchored the name’s association with delicate beauty. Through Persian cultural influence the word passed into Urdu and Hindi, where Pari likewise means “fairy,” making the name familiar across South Asia and the diaspora.

Common variants and spellings include Peri (Turkish), Pary, and Paari; related Persian names built on the same root include Parisa (“like a fairy”), Parinaz (“fairy charm”), and Parichehr/Parivash (“fairy-faced”). Pari also functions as a pet form of Parisa or Parinaz, and occasionally as a nickname for Paris in English. Note: Tamil Paari (after the legendary chieftain Vel Paari) is a different etymology, meaning “generous.”
