What is the meaning of the name Parri ?

The baby name Parri is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAR-ee,/ˈpæri/,/ˈpɑːri/.

Parri is English, Welsh in Origin.

Parri is a Welsh-derived given name and surname-based choice, tracing to Parry, the patronymic formed from ap Harri, “son of Harry.” Harri/Harry is the Welsh/English form of Henry, from Germanic heim “home” + rīc “ruler,” so Parri carries the sense of “descendant of the home-ruler.” As a first name, it has seen use in modern Wales and wider English-speaking countries through the late 20th century’s surname-to-given trend, and it reads as gender-neutral today.

Variants and related forms include Parry (surname and given), Harri (Welsh), Harry, and Henry; Perry is a near-homophone sometimes used as an alternative. In a separate tradition, the similar Pari in Persian and South Asian use means “fairy/angel,” though it is etymologically unrelated. The name Parri also appears in Renaissance Italy (e.g., the painter Parri Spinelli), showing independent nickname use. The spelling Parri keeps a crisp, contemporary profile.
