What Does the Name Parvin Mean?
Parvin is a Persian given name, usually feminine, from Persian پروین (parvīn), meaning 'Pleiades,' the star cluster in the constellation Taurus. The word is a native Persian term for that cluster; it is not a translation of Arabic Thurayyā, which names the same stars. The literal sense is astronomical. In classical Persian poetry, parvīn also appears as an image for a cluster or a scattering of bright things, but that is a literary use of the same word, not a separate origin.
Parvin Name History & Origins
The name continues a Persian astronomical term that is attested in classical Persian. Middle Persian has the form parwēn, from which New Persian parvīn developed. The term appears in Persian poetry, and Parvin is a traditional given name in Persian-speaking lands. The scholarly transliteration parvīn marks the long ī; English spellings such as Parvin and Parveen represent the same Persian name.
As Persian cultural influence spread into South Asia, the name entered Urdu and other languages of the region, where Parveen is a common spelling. In South Asia it is typically a feminine name, used by Muslims and others. Turkish has the related form Pervin, and Azerbaijani has Pərvin; these are also from the Persian word. The Iranian poet Parvin E'tesami is a well-known bearer of the name in its Persian form, and the Indian actress Parveen Babi is a well-known bearer of the South Asian spelling.
