What is the meaning of the name Parinaz ?

The baby name Parinaz is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced pah-ree-NAHZ.

Parinaz is Persian in Origin.

Parinaz is a Persian feminine name, written پری‌ناز in Perso-Arabic script and transliterated Parīnāz. Its earliest recoverable form is the New Persian compound parī-nāz, joining parī, a fairy or peri in Iranian folklore, with nāz, coy charm, delicacy, or affectionate coquetry. The literal sense is therefore fairy charm or fairy-like grace, with the long ī of parī and long ā of nāz often preserved in scholarly romanization.

The name belongs chiefly to Iranian naming practice and is also encountered among Persian-speaking communities and Parsi Zoroastrians in India, where Persian names remained culturally important. It is not a Quranic or Arabic name, though Muslim families may use it as a Persian given name. Modern visibility owes something to Iranian actress Parinaz Izadyar; spellings such as Pareenaz, Parinaaz, and Pari Naz reflect English transliteration rather than separate roots.
