Meaning and history
Pari has distinct Persian and South Asian uses. In Persian, pari means “fairy” or a beautiful supernatural being from Iranian folklore and poetry. In India it can also be used as a modern feminine name influenced by the same Persian word. Separately, Pari may appear as a short form or transliteration in other languages, so context matters. Notable bearers include Iranian operatic singer Pari Zangeneh and Indian child actor Pari Sharma.
