What is the meaning of the name Parviz ?

The baby name Parviz is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /pærˈviːz/ (par-VEEZ).

Parviz is Persian in Origin.

Parviz (Persian پرویز, transliterated Pārviz) is a Persian male given name with roots in Middle Persian Parvēz. Its core meanings are “fortunate,” “happy,” and by extension “victorious” or “triumphant.” The name gained prominence as the honorific of the Sasanian monarch Khosrow II - Khosrow Parviz - enshrined in epic and courtly literature. Through centuries of Persian cultural influence, Parviz became established across Iran and neighboring Persianate societies, and it also appears as a South Asian surname.

Common variants and spellings include Parvez/Pervez (Urdu, Hindi, Bengali), Parwiz/Parwez (Dari, Pashto), Pərviz (Azerbaijani), Perviz (Turkish), and Parviz/Парвиз in Tajik Persian. The name’s enduring appeal draws on associations with good fortune and royal success, reinforced by works like Nizami’s Khosrow and Shirin. Informal nicknames such as Parvi occur in the diaspora, while feminine look‑alike Parvin is unrelated in meaning.
