Pouyeh is Persian in Origin.

Pouyeh is a Persian given name derived from the Iranian root pūy-/pōy-, “to move, strive, or seek.” In literary Persian, pūyeh (پویه) denotes “pursuit, course, movement,” and the related adjective pūyā (پویا) means “active, dynamic.” As a personal name, Pouyeh carries the sense of “one who strives,” “seeker,” or “in motion,” with modern overtones of dynamism and progress. It is used in Iran and the Persian-speaking diaspora as a unisex name, though it can lean feminine in contemporary usage.

Documented as a lexical noun in classical Persian texts, Pouyeh entered regular given-name use in the late 20th century amid a trend for abstract, aspirational names. Common variants and spellings include Pooyeh, Puyeh, and Pouye, with closely related names Pouya/Pooya (masculine-leaning, “dynamic”) and Pooyan/Puyan (“seeker”). The name’s concise meaning and modern ring make it a culturally rooted yet forward-looking choice.
