What is the meaning of the name Parsiya ?

Parsiya is Persian in Origin.

Parsiya traces to the Persian root Pārs-/Fārs, the name of the southwestern Iranian region known in English as Fars, and to Old Persian Pārsa “Persian.” With the adjective-forming -yā ending, Parsiya conveys “Persian; from (the land of) Pars,” and, by extension, “Persian person/woman.” It stands beside cognates like English Persia and Greek/Latin Persis, and echoes Fārsi, the Persian language.

Use of the ethnonym Parsi is ancient and famously survives in the Zoroastrian Parsi community of India; as a given name, Parsiya is a contemporary choice found in Iran, South Asia, and the diaspora, often feminine but potentially unisex. Variant spellings and related forms include Parsia, Pārsiyā, Parsiyaa, Parsiyeh, Persiya, and Persia; Persis is a close cognate in Greco-Roman tradition. Short forms such as Sia or Parsi may be used.
