Pouyab is Persian in Origin.

Pouyab is a rare modern Persian (Farsi) given name, written پویاب. It builds on puyā, an adjective meaning active, dynamic, or striving, and the productive Persian suffix -yāb, which conveys ideas of finding or attainability. As a result, the name is interpreted as "ever-seeking," "one who attains by effort," or "finder through striving," aligning it with virtues of curiosity, persistence, and forward motion.

Usage appears from the late 20th century in Iran and across the Persian-speaking diaspora, where it functions primarily as a masculine name but may be used unisex in contemporary contexts. Pouyab remains uncommon; the simpler base form is far better known as Pouya. Common transliteration variants include Pouya, Pooya, Puya, and Poya; related Persian formations with -yāb (not strict variants) include Kamyab ("rare; hard-won").
