What is the meaning of the name Pars ?

The baby name Pars is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /pɑːrs/ (pahrs).

Pars is Persian in Origin.

Pars carries a dual heritage. In Turkish it is a masculine given name meaning “leopard,” a symbol of speed and daring, and appears in literature and modern media. In Persian (Pârs/Pars), the word names the ancient region Persis - source of “Persia” and “Persian” - and connects to Old Persian Parsa, the ethnonym of the Achaemenids; the later Arabicized form is Fars. The name thus evokes both feline prowess and Persian identity.

Usage skews masculine and is well established in Turkey and among Iranian families; outside these areas it remains uncommon but accessible. Variants and related forms include Parsa (Persian/Turkish), Parsi (as an ethnonym and occasional given name), Fars (toponymic), Persis and Perses (Greek-derived), and the surname Pars/Parsa in parts of Europe. Core meanings: “leopard” in Turkish; “of Persia/Persian” in Persian. Unrelated to Latin pars, “part.”
