Pourandokhteh is Persian in Origin.

Pourandokhteh is a Persian feminine name from Middle/New Persian elements Pūrān + dokht/dukht “daughter.” Pūrān is built on por/pūr “full, abundant,” so the compound is read either as “daughter of Puran” (with Puran as a personal name) or poetically “daughter of abundance/fulfillment.” Attested in Pahlavi as Pūrāndukht, the -dokht element appears widely in Sasanian-era female names.

The name is famous through Queen Pourandokht (Boran), daughter of Khosrow II, who ruled the Sasanian Empire around 629–631 CE and was praised in Persian chronicles and the Shahnameh for efforts to restore justice and fiscal order. It has seen periodic revival in Iran, especially in cultural-national circles of the 20th century, and remains recognizable though uncommon today. Variants and spellings include Pourandokht, Purandokht, Puran-Dokht, Porandokht, Pūrāndukht; the regnal form Boran/Būrān is closely associated in sources. Related -dokht names include Azarmidokht and Mihrdokht.
