Parlin is English in Origin.

Parlin is a transferred surname occasionally used as a given name in English-speaking countries. As a family name it appears in Britain and the United States and is often linked to medieval pet forms of Peter - such as Perlin or Perlyn - ultimately from Greek Petros, meaning “rock” or “stone.” In Central and Eastern Europe, Parlin is also a place name; several Polish villages bear it, suggesting a separate toponymic origin for some bearers.
