Pirojshah is Persian in Origin.

Pirojshah is a masculine given name chiefly used in Parsi (Zoroastrian) families of the Indian subcontinent. It fuses Persian piruz/pērōz - rendered in Parsi Gujarati as Piroj, “victorious, fortunate, prosperous” - with shah, “king.” The compound thus denotes a “victorious king” and carries auspicious overtones of triumph, prosperity, and rightful leadership rooted in Iranian linguistic tradition.

Documented chiefly from the 19th century onward, the name reflects the Parsis’ retention of Persianate compounds in colonial and modern India. Notable bearers include industrialist Pirojsha Burjorji Godrej (1882–1972), a co‑founder of the Godrej Group, and his descendant Pirojsha Adi Godrej. Spellings vary with transliteration: Pirojshah, Pirojsha, Piruz Shah, or Pirooz Shah; cognates and related forms include Piruz/Pirooz and the South Asian Firoz/Firuz. Short forms like Piroj occur. Rare outside Parsi circles, it signals heritage, ambition, and good fortune.
