Parrisch is English in Origin.

Parrisch is a rare modern variant of Parrish, a surname-turned-given name rooted in Middle English parish(e), from Old French paroisse, ultimately from Late Latin parochia and Greek paroikia “sojourning; ecclesiastical district.” The core sense is “one from the parish” or “parish-dweller,” carrying associations of community, guardianship, and belonging.

As a given name, it follows the broader English-speaking trend of adopting surnames, appearing sporadically in the United States since the late nineteenth century and gaining modest visibility through the painter Maxfield Parrish and the 1961 film title Parrish. The -sch ending in Parrisch likely reflects a distinctive or German-influenced stylistic choice. Variants and related forms include Parish, Parrish, Parris, and Paris; short forms Parry, Parr, or Pari. Usage is unisex, with contemporary appeal for parents seeking a familiar sound with uncommon spelling.
