Parween is Persian in Origin.
Parween is a Persian-origin feminine name from Parvīn, the classical Persian word for the Pleiades, the brilliant star cluster in Taurus. In Persian literature the constellation symbolizes beauty, radiance, and auspicious fortune, so the name evokes “cluster of stars” or “starlight.” It spread with Persianate culture into Central and South Asia and remains popular across Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kurdish-speaking regions, carried in part by the prestige of poets and scholars who used Parvīn/Parveen as a poetic emblem.
Spellings vary by language and script: Parvin (standard Persian), Parveen (Urdu/Hindi), Parwin or Parween (Pashto and Dari), Parwîn (Kurdish), and Parvina (Tajik/Uzbek). The w/v alternation reflects local pronunciation. Notable bearers include Iranian poet Parvin E’tesami and Pakistani poet Parveen Shakir. Related names include the Arabic Thuraya (also “Pleiades”). Overall, Parween combines celestial meaning with a long literary pedigree.
