Parvati is Hindu, Sanskrit in Origin.
Parvati is a Sanskrit feminine name meaning mountain-born or of the mountains, from parvata (mountain). In Hindu tradition it is borne by the goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva and a principal form of Shakti, associated with love, fertility, devotion, and strength. The name appears throughout classical literature and Puranic narratives and has remained a steady choice in India and Nepal, with wider use across the South Asian diaspora and occasional adoption elsewhere since the 20th century.
Regional spellings include Parvathi and Parvathy (Tamil, Malayalam), Parbati (Nepali) and Parboti (Bengali), as well as the anglicized Parvatee. Related epithets of the goddess, including Uma, Gauri, Haimavati, and Girija, function as cognate given names. Nicknames such as Paro and Paru occur in informal use. The name carries connotations of steadfastness and natural beauty, evoking the Himalayas and the enduring bond between Parvati and Shiva.
