Parinya is Thai in Origin.
Parinya (Thai: ปริญญา) is a Thai unisex given name meaning “degree,” “scholarly attainment,” and, by extension, “complete understanding” or “wisdom.” It derives from Pali pariññā and ultimately Sanskrit parijñāna, formed from pari- “around, fully” and jñā “to know.” In Thai usage, the word commonly denotes academic qualifications, so the name carries auspicious connotations of education and mastery.
The name rose in modern Thai naming practices of the 20th century, when abstract virtues and learned qualities became popular choices, and it remains in steady use for all genders. A well-known bearer is Parinya Charoenphol (“Nong Toom”), the Muay Thai boxer and actress. Transliterations vary: Parinya (RTGS standard), Pariñya (scholarly), and, less often, Parinyah. Related Thai compounds built on the same root include Parinyaporn and Parinyarat. A cognate concept name is Panya (ปัญญา, “wisdom”).
