Parsa is Persian in Origin.

Parsa (Persian پارسا, transliterated Pârsâ or Pārsā) is a Persian masculine name meaning “pious, devout, virtuous,” from the New Persian adjective parsa used for ascetics and holy men in classical Persian literature and Sufi discourse. In a separate but resonant strand, Old Persian Parsā referred to the Persian people and to Persepolis, the Achaemenid ceremonial capital, so the name can also suggest Persian identity and heritage. The epithet appears in bynames of scholars such as Khwaja Parsa (15th century).

Used as both given name and surname across Iran, Afghanistan, and the Iranian diaspora, Parsa rose in popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and remains fashionable for boys; it is occasionally unisex. Common variants are orthographic: Parsa, Paarsa, Pârsâ, and Pārsā. Contemporary compounds such as Amirparsa are also widespread. The name is recognized across Persianate cultures, including Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.
