Pirojsho is Persian in Origin.

Pirojsho is a masculine Parsi given name of Persian origin, most closely related to Middle Persian Peroz, meaning “victorious,” “triumphant,” or “fortunate.” In Parsi-Gujarati usage the final element appears as -sho/-sha, reflecting the honorific -shah (“king; noble”), so the compound is often understood as “victorious king” or simply “the victorious one.” Related forms can be traced to New Persian Piruz/Pirouz and Arabicized Firuz/Feroz, and the name is historically linked to the Sasanian ruler Peroz I.

Used chiefly among Zoroastrian Parsis in western India from the 18th century onward, the name gained modern visibility through figures such as industrialist Pirojsha Godrej. Spelling and phonetic variants include Pirojsha, Pirojshah, Pherozeshah, Ferozshah, Piroj, Pheroz, Feroz/Firuz, and Persian Piruz/Pirouz. While uncommon outside Parsi communities, it aligns with the broader Persianate tradition of virtue names celebrating victory, success, and auspicious fortune.
