What is the meaning of the name Pervez ?

The baby name Pervez is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced per-VEHZ.

Pervez is Persian in Origin.

Pervez is a Persian masculine name, written in modern Persian as پرویز and more closely transliterated as Parvīz. Its older form is usually connected with Middle Persian Aparwēz or Abarwēz, the royal epithet borne by the Sasanian ruler Khosrow II. The sense is victorious or unconquered; the initial element was later reduced in New Persian usage, leaving Parvīz as an independent personal name.

The name’s historical prominence rests chiefly on Khosrow Parviz, whose reign from 590 to 628 placed the epithet in Persian royal memory and later literary tradition. From Persian it entered Urdu and other South Asian naming pools, producing spellings such as Parvez, Pervaiz, and Perviz. It is most familiar in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of India, especially among Muslim families, while remaining uncommon in English-speaking countries.
