Pirojshy is Persian in Origin.

Pirojshy is a rare Parsi given name, best understood as a South Asian transliteration of Persian Piruz + Shah, literally "victorious king." Its first element goes back to Middle Persian Peroz ("victorious, fortunate, triumphant"), source of modern Iranian names Pirouz/Piruz and Indo-Persian forms Firoz/Firuz; the second is the royal title "shah." The spelling with -shy reflects colonial-era Anglo-Indic conventions rather than modern Persian orthography.

Used primarily among Zoroastrian Parsis in India from the late 19th century, the name is associated with industrialist Pirojsha Godrej, helping anchor its visibility in Mumbai and Gujarat. Established variants include Pirojsha, Pirojshah, and Pirojshaw; shorter related forms are Piroj, Piruz/Pirouz, Pirooz, and Firoz/Firuz; honorific diminutives like Pirojji also occur. Feminine cognates from the same root include Firouzeh/Firuzeh. Approximate pronunciation: pee-ROJ-shee. Note: despite a lookalike spelling, it is unrelated to Russian pirozhki (stuffed buns). The name's core meaning centers on triumph and auspicious success.
