Parmindar is Punjabi in Origin.

Parmindar is a Punjabi given name of Sanskrit origin, generally used by Sikhs and Punjabi Hindus, and considered unisex though more common for men. It fuses param, “supreme, highest,” with Indar/Indra, the Vedic king of the gods; together it conveys “supreme lord,” “the highest Indra,” or, more broadly in Sikh usage, “one who belongs to the Supreme Being.”

In the 20th century the name gained steady use in Punjab and later in diaspora communities in the UK, Canada, and the United States, where spellings reflect transliteration preferences. Common variants include Parminder (most widespread), Paraminder, Perminder, and Inder-based short forms such as Inder. Diminutives like Parmi also circulate in families. The -ar ending in Parmindar mirrors Punjabi phonology, while the -er in Parminder reflects Hindi/English influence; both point back to the same etymology and devotional sense found in many Sikh compound names.
