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.
As a first name, Parlin has seen rare, unisex use in the 20th and 21st centuries, in step with the broader trend of adopting surnames as given names. Variants and near-relations include Parlan, Parlen, Parlyn, and Perlin; comparable names tied to the Peter root are Peter, Pierce, and Piers. Many parents appreciate Parlin’s crisp, modern sound combined with the enduring “rock” symbolism.
