Perban is Indonesian in Origin.
Perban is a rare given name most commonly analyzed as Iranian in origin, built from Persian/Kurdish peri/perî ‘fairy, nymph’ and the productive Persian suffix -bān ‘keeper, guardian.’ On this reading, Perban carries the luminous sense of ‘guardian of the fairies’ or ‘kept by a fairy’ - a protective, otherworldly image that aligns it with names such as Pari, Parisa, and Parvaneh.
Attested more in diaspora name lists than in historical registers, Perban clusters with variants Pariban, Periban, and the literary Paribanou/Paribanu, the fairy princess of the Thousand and One Nights. Kurdish romanization often yields Perîban. Usage today is very uncommon and tends to skew feminine, though the structure is formally unisex. Related forms in Turkish include Perihan (‘fairy queen’), while the phonetic look‑alike Parban/Parvan in South Asia comes from Sanskrit parvan ‘festival’ and is etymologically separate. Short forms may include Peri or Ban/Banu.
We have no record of Perban in any national birth registry or name dataset. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
